Wait a minute. After reading the ongoing commentary here for months it seems clear that if only people will trade in their SUV's for Subaru Outbacks and Volvo Cross-Country's with Free Tibet Stickers on the Back, shop at PCC and Restoration Hardware instead of Target and Walmart, and substitute organic fair-trade coffee for Starbucks, global warming would be a non-issue. I mean, this seems to be the extent of the "sacrifices" that most people are actually making in their lives, and clearly this entitles them to occupy a lofty-plane of eco-superiority such that they can condemn their environmentally challenged countrymen for destroying the planet - so lots of finger-pointing while getting an extra 2-3 mpg on the daily commute and paying extra for groceries must be the solution.
if only the dinosaurs had such insight
