I think this term encapsulates what I see as the biggest barrier to
addressing the climate change threat -- a lack of awareness of just how
much we need to change our economic and personal behaviours, and/or a
lack of willingness to do it (as well as the normal human approach of
expecting "someone else" to "do something" when it comes to big
problems)
This is the greenhouse `denialist' problem -- not a few
conservatives arguing that climate change is a left-wing conspiracy,
but a public that accepts the theory but rejects the consequences of
their beliefs.
There have been a couple more reports of late which reinforce this
view.
