== Biography ==
Craven grew up in Silverton, Oregon, and graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington.〔("Teacher's video on global warming a hit online" ), ''Newhouse News Service'' via ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'', December 20, 2007 (accessed 21 June 2009)〕 In 2007, when he was a science teacher at Central High School in Independence, Oregon, Craven posted the nine and one-half minute ''The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See''〔(Original "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See" ) on YouTube〕 on YouTube. The video presented a simplified version of risk management using a 2x2 grid to sketch out possible scenarios based on: a) whether we choose to take action or not, and b) whether global warming turns out to be a threat or not. Using the grid, Craven concluded that taking action to combat climate change was the better choice, given the relative risks.
In the first six months online it garnered four million hits, and prompted Craven to spend six weeks creating 44 follow up videos totaling over seven hours detailing specifics of risk management applied to climate change.〔("A rural teacher with global reach" ), ''Christian Science Monitor'', December 20, 2007(accessed 21 June 2009)〕 Craven's conclusion was that "the risk of not acting far outweighs the risk of acting."〔("Climate change video becomes YouTube sensation" ), CTV.ca, 28 December 2007 (accessed 21 June 2009)〕 Craven was the focus of some media attention,〔("High-school teacher spreads the word on climate change" ), ''Yahoo! News'', 10 January 2008 (accessed 21 June 2009)〕 was named "Featured Teacher" by ''WIRED Science'',〔("Featured Teacher: Greg Craven" ), ''WIRED Science'', 9 October 2007(accessed 21 June 2009)〕 and received criticism by climate change denialists. In 2009, Craven published the book ''What's the Worst That Could Happen?: A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate''.〔(''What's the Worst That Could Happen?: A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate'' ), available from gregcraven.org〕
At the annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2010, Craven delivered a speech〔("AGU Talk" ), gregcraven.org, December 15, 2010 (accessed 19 April 2011)〕 (and subsequent comments during a panel discussion) exhorting the climate science community to become personally involved in the public debate over climate change. Craven's comments caused some negative attention in denialist climate blogs, which argued that Craven was "the face of the 'New AGU.'" This prompted Craven to publish a clarification taking personal responsibility and emphasizing that his remarks were in no way associated with the AGU organization or its official view.〔(Mea Mega Culpa: an Open Letter from Greg Craven re: Dec. 15th speech at AGU ), accessed December 18, 2010〕
