Getting the people to care about Climate Change
I'm not exactly sure what the new PR campaign will have to tell the American people about Climate Change, but I'm afriad what ever it is it will not have any effect on changing American's all-comsuming behavior. Lets face it, what's causing the earth's climate to warm is the LA's, Chicagos, Atlanta's etc. of the good OLE USA. I understand that any change toward less consumption is good change, but I'm afraid it indeed will be too little, too late. The only thing that's going to force Americans out of there vehicles and into efficient public transportation is the economics of scarcity. It is indeed merely an 'inconvenient' truth that the climate is warming, so much so that we won't have to inconvenience ourselves by getting on the bus until it is absolutely necessary. People have actually started to carpool in decent numbers where I'm originally from in CA, however the vast majority of the drivers are still going solo.
Refer to the website museletter.com and clic on the link to the authors book regarding industrial society. He lays out the most realistic scenario I've yet seen about the dwindling future of carbon resources, and even better how governments must cooperate on the largest scale imaginable to achieve harmonious results. If this is too much of an organizing challenge, then we'll just have to wait and see what happens.The way I see it is if 10,000 years ago ice sheets a mile thick covered the majority of North America, that must have required a bit of global warming. The question is now, what change is in store for us now. Its hard to imagine a more dramatic change from the Ice age till now, but who knows, maybe the next age will be the fire age.On Gore-backed group will spend big to convince Americans climate change is real posted 3 years, 6 months ago 6 Responses
