I will inform all of my friends and keep my fingers crossed, that this will help!
But unfortunately, as George Bush ignores the Kyoto-Protocol, it will be difficult to change the world´s behaviour as soon as it is necessary...

It always strikes me as absurd whenever I see or read Clinton rail against Bush for not supporting the Protocol- he did the same exact thing, and for the same reasons!

As important as the Kyoto Protocol is, it's only a very small step which is just better than nothing but in fact mankind should make braver moves to really have effect on the global climate. We are all - worldwide! - heading for serious problems concerning global climate and global warming. Just think about the increased number of natural desasters over the last years which were caused directl or indirectly by the climate. And that#s just one side of the problem, the slow-going changes will change our lives even more in the long run.

Originally posted by lushmachine I speak for myself when I say it is disparaging to live daily life in such an energy-happy country with those who find bliss in ignorance on this matter. Global warming is a myth for far too many. Mindsets are the hardest things to change.

Precisely why I do not own a car and use primarily EnergyStar appliances. Whenever I can afford to I invest in eco-friendly products. I also encourage those around me to be aware of the daily waste associated with energy consumption and plastics. I am no saint but I also have no doubt that if we abuse the planet, it will shut our species down.

And the industry will only follow the demand. If people still like to move on streets with a tank disguised as an upper class car, the car industry will focus on smarter steering systems for a tank rather than pushing plans for a lightweight car with a less gas consuming engine.
I always shudder to think that there are nations like China that are likely to repeat the mistakes of western industrialisation in less time with many more people
