The problem is lack of leadership. You get people like my neighbor who says she doesn't need to conserve (and by goddess, she sure doesn't) because "the President" says there isn't a problem and she believes in him. When shown real evidence to the contrary, she just dismisses it all as a "liberal plot".
Even more frightening are the right wing religious nuts who believe that all this is part of god's plan and we are supposed to ruin the earth because it says in the Bible that we will and the second coming can't happen until we do. They figure we should hurry up and do it faster...
