Resistance is Futile!

After mentioning a Yale survey that found that 83% of Americans think global warming is a serious problem, George Will implies that individual actions are futile in battling global warming. The assault of the "media-entertainment-environmental complex" to get citizens to urge action by their political leaders is unprecedented except during WW I and II, according to Will. He reminds us that in 1997 Congress voted 95-0 against the Kyoto Protocol. That was ten long years ago, George--we know a lot more now than we did then. Will then quotes discredited statistician Bjorn Lomborg on how expensive to the US Kyoto compliance would be. He also quotes a report by CNW Research (a retired marketing guy operating out of his home in Oregon) stating that a Hummer is actually more cost effective and efficient in the long run than a Prius--apparently, the use of zinc in the Prius is the problem. And then he disses Arnold Schwarzenegger's initiatives.
The two biggest global warming skeptics, George Bush and ExxonMobil, are talking nice about the issue and ExMo even claims to have withdrawn support from from its skeptical minions (although I'm not sure I believe the behemoth). People across the country are rallying around the need for action, but blowhards like Will keep telling us action is futile.
Idling in our Hummers won't solve anything, either.
