Comments on: White House Fools the Media Again with Warmed-Over Do-Nothing Climate “Plan” http://climateprogress.org/2006/09/21/bush-fools-the-media-again-with-warmed-over-do-nothing-climate-plan/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:48:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: ReadyForChange http://climateprogress.org/2006/09/21/bush-fools-the-media-again-with-warmed-over-do-nothing-climate-plan/#comment-42 ReadyForChange Thu, 21 Sep 2006 21:13:05 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/2006/09/21/bush-fools-the-media-again-with-warmed-over-do-nothing-climate-plan/#comment-42 You are completely correct - technology alone isn't the answer. Market forces aren't enough to solve global warming because the public isn't educated enough to CARE enough to make the individual sacrifices needed on a large scale. Otherwise SUVs wouldn't have sold so well ove the last 10 years. Its only been recently that SUV automakers have started to lose money - but that is more due to the spike in gas prices. If gas remains cheap and automakers keep pumping out gas guzzlers then thats what people will buy. That's why the government NEEDS to step in and make a few regulations to give a jump start to the process. But we need to wake up traditional media and the sad fact is they won't be reading this site. How will they know the truth when they don't look for it?

It isn't all about money, is it? I couldn't get the link to the Luntz article. Just curious as to why 52% of MSM articles deny Global Warming and 0% of journals do? It isn’t all about money, is it?

Keep them coming. Ready, you are certainly right that the traditional media probably won't be reading this site, at least not yet. But at least all of us can work to get out the facts, and if enough people shift over to the new media, that by itself will be a partial victory. Great cartoon, Clay. Keep them coming.
