Reply #9: Americans have the attention span of gnats

[Blaukraut]

Blame the media for not giving the perils of climate change honest coverage, instead of allowing a platform for the loudmouthed deniers like Inhofe, etc.
Regardless of where the blame lies, unless we rid ourselves of our 'me first' attitude, or unless gas prices hit european levels, nothing will change.
As long as we view wind farms as eye sores, or economic, fuel efficient, small cars as 'not manly enough', nothing will change.
As long as we consider it our inalienable right to throw all trash into one barrel and not be made to recycle, nothing will change.
As long as we feel we cannot be comfortable unless our indoor temperature is a cool 68 in summer and a toasty 75 in winter, nothing will change.
I could list many more examples, but we all get the idea.

Too many Americans are less than willing to make necessary sacrifices to combat climate change (yes, it has to start with us), and they are enabled by those in power, in whose interest it lies to maintain the status quo. I'm so sick of it, it's not funny.
