Reply #6: The chlorofluorocarbon lobby [View All]

[pscot]

wasn't nearly as pervasive and powerful as the carbon lobby. The public was only dimly aware of CFC's as some obscure substance hidden in the bowels of their fridge. The transition away from CFC's was painless and largely unnoticed. Carbon withdrawal is going to be a bitch. The carbon lobby is broad and deep, and has plenty of cash. Every citizen of the planet benefits from the exploitation of our carbon resources. The problem is one of scale, a notion that few seem to fully understand.
