I have some sympathy with your views here jshell. There are so many compelling reasons why it would be a good idea to transition away from fossil fuels, perhaps the no 1 reason being that its a finite resource. The obsessive media focus on climate change does seem to drown out all these other issues.

Trying to motivate people to change on the basis of a single issue, using fear, guilt and the doomsday scenario as "inspiration" has clearly failed to create a sea change in public opinion. Its a wholly disempowering message that causes many to resond by simply sticking thier heads further into the sand.

The simple message that sustainability and clean energy are positive, evolutionary steps that offer a more intelligent, creative way of living might motivate people more than "you have to change or you and your children and grandchildren will die!"

Personally, when i have ever tried to use fear and guilt to win someone over, its been spectacularly unsuccessful.
