Is it these evil power brokers dragging their heels, or simply that a vast majority of people aren't willing to give up everything that relies on energy from fossil fuels to solve a problem that we may or may not have any ability to control at this point?
You have to be complete idiot to think humans won't have a negative impact on the environment, but how many of the global warming evangelists are willing to put their money where their mouth is instead of simply passing the responsibility on to someone else?
We have too many people consuming too much stuff, are you ready to give up everything that requires fossil fuels in the hope that we can reverse the damage done? Or, is it is easier to argue in favor of simply transferring money around and calling it "doing something"?
I think if some people were to set aside their undeserved arrogance for a few minutes they might realize that they're really not smarter than the average bear, they just haven't realized that others just want them shut up so they can continue focusing on a practical solution that doesn't require stepping back to the stone age and trying again.
