I don’t think people realize the urgency of the situation. We are running out of gas! Myself, I would rather drive something fuel efficient than walk, given a choice. We have enough time if we act now, we don’t even have to suffer all that much, but if we stall and waffle we are going to end up worse off than third world nations, after all they never had anything to lose.
