I found the “restrictions and sacrifices” recommended at Live Earth really embarassing – for them. “Put on another sweater” rather than leave the thermostat running at a higher temperature. Ummm…wow, not everyone has those choices, by far, the rest of the world is already living that way. So the embarassment is that is an emergency cry beamed to all nations, and in a way one in another nation looks on wondering what took them so long to get it, anyway.

How if we talk doom and gloom we frighten people into not hearing the truth. Thanks Rob for putting this on your site it was great to watch and hear things put in such a clear and warm way</p> It was interesting to hear David talk about the problem can create the solution.
