I care about it, I believe the science, I believe we're causing it. I just don't believe that society as a whole is honestly willing to change their lives in the way that solving the problem would actually require.
People can talk about solar and wind energy, but it's going to require a significant reduction in our style of life. I personally don't think people are willing.
The anti nuclear stance bothers me too. It's our best hope at maintaining our standard of living and still going green.
