A way of life, like actions, has consequences. The world must wean itself from massive addiction to fossil fuels. The American highly individualistic "cowboy" attitude is often "i can do whatever i want anytime i want by gosh ain't nobody tellin' me i'm helpin' make that global warmin'." The belief that one is good so that one's actions are always good is the arrogance that kills the world. It seems we would rather suffer the consequences of our addictions than to make changes in our lifestyles. Of course, the human ego cannot allow this truth, so it says, "bunch of crazy scientists trying to take my Ford Explorer."
