I think the problem is knowing who to believe.. Oil companies and richer governments will try to soothe it down and make you believe its not that bad. Carbon Offset companies will do everything they can to make you feel guilty but just enough to make you pay and not really change your habits. It's in their interest that you keep making money and polluting as much as possible.
Then there's us, the ones being fucked and who can't really go round reading every 200 page report or better yet, testing our own silly theories. Amongst us, there are a few who know that just about anything a government will tell you in cooperation with an oil company is a lie, and therefore must be fought.
There is so much (dis)information going on at the moment that you will never have all the facts. You pretty much have to stand up from your seat and act on gut instinct! Are they protecting our interests? Are the ones in control, the powerful, rich motherfuckers, giving a rats arse about what you and your children need? Are you sure you can trust them?
