Reply #1: Not so easy-- apart from the "fraud" nonsense...

he does realize that extreme reductions in CO2 or whatever else will mean a huge change in lifetsyles for most of us.

It's not just driving, light bulbs, and home heating-- it's little things like steel production. It's rebuilding an infrastructure that was built on the premise of cheap raw materials and energy. It's mass unemployment in dirty industries.

Not that these are insurmoutable problems, but just who is it out there who has the will to do all this changing? People who live with a plastic bottle of water glued to their lips all day? People who leave the TV on to entertain the cats? People who refuse to buy CFLs because they have to warm up for a few seconds or don't work on dimmers?

Look around to every one you know and add up just how much they've done to reduce their carbon footprints and then get back to this guy.
