We sure don't have much of a chance of doing anything as long as we continue to spend our time denying that a problem exists rather than sitting down at the table and hashing out the best solutions we can achieve...I mean if we in the U.S. cannot make a simple "sacrifice" by quickly expecting our manufacturers to increase CAFE standards to do what Toyota and Honda have done voluntarily with great success, we sure can't expect much to happen in China.
We need to engage and lead on the issue. We need to be part of selling the solutions to the world. We need to help our own citizens find ways to economically conserve more and save more money as the price of energy increases rapidly.
The global warming denialists have lost their "battle"....indeed, they have delayed positive progress....but the change is now beginning and it is so far, a very good thing..the question will be whether we (the U.S.) still have time to lead AND benefit....or whether the Germans will be the ones..or the Japanese...or the Canadians.....but the change will happen.
