Thank you for the link. I
Thank you for the link.
I think there is a greater problem than confusing the public.
I think that the vast majority of the public doesn't really know ANYTHING about it, other than the key words.
I certainly do not think that the vast majority of Americans are willing to do/pay for the changes necessary to put a dent in our emissions.
Again, it boils down to making actual PRODUCTS more accessible and attractive to consumers (energy efficient homes, vehicles, better public transportation, etc).
We are a spoiled people, rather intent on driving our SUV's and keeping our homes and businesses cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
In some ways, Europe and Russia are better suited to making these changes because there is a history of economy and thrift driven by the costs associated with rebuilding. Certainly their citizens are much more accustomed to "discomfort" than Americans are.
