That right there is exactly why the planet is in big trouble. You are right on though. No one wants to give up the luxuries we have today, no matter the cost.
A great example of this is when Al Gore (flying on his private jet from his home which has a $2000 monthly electric bill) gives a speech telling everyone to stop driving their cars & walk. Climate change whiners are some of the biggest "CO2 producers" in the world. At least I am consistent in my lifestyle. And many who refuse to believe the lies of climate change also tend to be some of the biggest conservators. Like others I have many acres dedicated to nature wildlife. However I do my best to make sure I only mow the lawn on 'ozone action days'.
