Well, the tone of the commeter was "Whew! It's only a video about catastrophic climate change. As long as my stuff is okay, thank heavens". It just seems an absolutely selfish and silly response.

I'll try to be less zealot-y. Pretty much every other person here is saying "meh, calm down everybody, not a big deal." Sometimes someone has to be a zealot, you know?

Maybe the not lost archived data in question is research pertaining to avoiding catastrophic climate change problems... :-)

Fair enough, I just think your cause would be much better served without actively disparaging the people you're trying to win over. It sure is a big deal, agreed, but there's a way to point that out that doesn't minimize everything else someone cares about in the process. More effective, too.
