I'm a widow, but I have brought many people over to the "light side" (verses the dark side of ignoring
the climate change issues) in my private life and "public" life on green boards like this one and others
for the past several years.
"If there is to be any hope of avoiding civilization-threatening climate disruption, the U.S. and other
nations must act immediately and aggressively on an unprecedented scale.
It is unpleasant to talk like this. People don't want to hear it. They don't want to believe it.
They bring to bear an enormous range of psychological and behavioral defense mechanisms to avoid it.
It sounds "extreme" and our instinctive heuristics conflate "extreme" with "wrong." People display the same kind of
avoidance when they find out that they or a loved one are seriously ill."

I am single and would not say that I am the only one who believes in global warming here. And actually, I have not meet someone here yet that do not agree that global warming is real and is happening. As we could really feel the effect of it such as wild changes in weather. There are also some other households here who separate those things that could still be recycled and those that we could still sell in a junk shop.

I am singIe. I think that most of my friends that I talk to, believe that changes are taking place, whether it is global warming or not. They can see even right now, the warmth in the month of December, where you don't have to turn the heat on, which is not normal. One said that we might have snow in June and well we might.

Okay, so now we have geysers of methane spewing all over, 8 million tons a year is an underestimation, and twenty times more potent. Isn't this just dandy? As well, the amount that is underneath, seemingly could blow up and have it all coming out, at one time. What then, if anyone lives within any close proximity. Gees and crackers, this is really mind-blowing. Thanks for the amazing information. It is very scary.

I think too many "movers and shakers" think they can swoop in at the last minute and save the day
i.e. congress sitting on their hands all year, and then at 11:59, finally doing something.
It doesn't work that way.
But honestly? I don't think it will be the governments of the world that will turn this around.
WE will, the humans on this rock and our grassroots organizations.

My spouse is a conscious & concerned green cause supporter. Whether it is using CFL lamps at home or avoiding plastic bags for shopping or water conservation and recycling old clothes, she has been an equal repsponsibility partner! She also takes active interest in promoting green initiatives in her place of work i.e the college!

My wife doesn't believe in climate change but indulges my efforts. My son is into recycling because he has never known anything else. My customers sometimes think I am wacked when I offer a greener solution to their current problem. But hitting any of them over the head with it would just put them on the defensive, so I appeal to whatever angle resonates with them. If the reason for using less oil is national security instead of CC, does it matter? They are still using less oil. Anyway that is my perspective.

"As it does every month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
has released U.S. weather stats for the month just ended, and the results will come as a huge shock --
if you've been hiding in a subterranean cave, at least.
For the rest of us, it's not even a bit surprising that January, 2012 is the fourth warmest January
since modern recordkeeping began in the late 1800's."
