We're at the tipping point for climate change (bonus: face in the clouds)

the face in the clouds...look horrified

At last, something that I can face.

Very cool detail!

storm??

We're at the tipping point for climate change (bonus: face in the clouds) by kevindooley.

(Thanks myoakforest for noticing the face in the cloud)

We're at the tipping point for climate change. I don't mean physically, I mean socially--roughly half of us believe that we need to intervene now in order to stave off or adapt to inevitable changes, while half believe that the predicted effects are overblown and a long way off.

According to Ev Rogers, the guru theorist of innovation diffusion, we are at the "late majority" stage. The late majority, according to Rogers, is influenced most by friends, family, and peers--meaning, you and me. They're not as influenced by media or "science" per se.

So get out there are sell it!

Maybe need a few more polar bears on the "change" side? They've got a lot of weight. ;-)
I like that late majority concept. Seems to hold true on lots of issues.

Yes ! Noire and more of us ought to be doing something about it. But the current economic climate is going to set things back quite a bit. For instance in Ireland there is supposed to be a ban coming into effect to get rid of conventional light bulbs and use low-energy CFCs instead. But I doubt if it will happen. the new-fangled bulbs don't work very well, cause interference with radios and are A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE.

I think that people find it difficult to be influenced by science, when the scientists themselves can't agree. Not sure if it's science or money that talks loudest in some cases.
