Conservative climate deniers understand that addressing climate change will force us to change our way of life; our way of life cannot be questioned; ergo, climate change cannot be happening…..

Myth #2: Republicans are Still More to Blame

the best predictor of someone’s carbon footprint is income….the American middle class, republican and democrat, have high income and therefore high carbon footprint...

Myth #3: Renewable Energy Can Replace Fossil Fuels

fossil fuels are energy dense in a way that renewables never can be: our current levels of consumption CANNOT be maintained by renewables.

Fossil fuels:

Fossil fuels formed over millions of years, but a single $3 gallon of gasoline provides the equivalent of about 80 days of hard manual labor.

We live at a level, that in previous days could have only been supported by about 150 slaves for every American

Renewables:

enough sun strikes the Earth every 104 minutes to power the entire world for a year...but...

the photovoltaic area [required] represents more than all the paved area in the world.

And... a battery capable of storing this electricity would require about three times as much lead as geologists estimate exists...

Myth 4: The Coming “Knowledge Economy” Will be a Low-Energy Economy

Your father worked in a high-energy smelting factory; you spend your day behind a low-energy laptop computer...

But the real global economy still requires container ships and trucks (burning fossil fuels), made of steel (made by burning fossil fuels), running on asphalt roads (made by burning fossil fuels)

each American consumer requires 362 pounds (164kg) a day of oil, sand, grain, iron ore, coal and wood” to maintain our current lifestyle each year.

if everyone lived like we do the world would use four times as much energy and emit nearly four times as much carbon dioxide as it does now.

Myth 5: We can Reverse Global Warming Without Changing our Current Lifestyles

Global warming is not complicated: it is caused mainly by burning fossil fuels; in the greatest quantity by wealthy people and nations - to address climate change, people in rich industrial nations will have to reduce consumption...

Myth 6: There is Nothing I Can Do

you can’t not do anything: you are already doing things!

Either you will continue to buy, use, and consume “as if there is no tomorrow”; or you will make substantial changes to the way you live. Both choices are “doing something.”

Hey Simon what do you think? :

not just at an individual level, we also need to vote and campaign: we need to change society, to become more like low tech magazine, the Amish.
