And the public is not responding. The oil spill is the latest example. Paul Chesser explains in the Washington Times here.
The [Washington] Post reported that while the BP leak concerns everyone, public
reaction reflects a desire to address our oil-exploration problems so
we can continue to access and use fossil fuel resources, as opposed to
the environmentalists’ “end it all” plan.“People’s outrage is focused on BP,” said Yale University public-opinion researcher Anthony Leiserowitz.
The spill “hasn’t been automatically connected to some sense that
there’s something more fundamental wrong with our relationship with the
natural world.”Missing those signals, environmental extremists
want to use the disaster as an excuse (once again) to modify human
behavior via forced curbs on greenhouse gases.
