There is a huge difference between the anti-smoking campaigns and the measures that will be necessary to combat Climate Change will be so far reaching as to alter the way most people live their lives today.
Everything from what you drive, how you heat your home, commute to and from work and even what you eat (and where it comes from) will need to alter, and in some cases drastically so.
In order to have any real (and lasting) effect those changes will have to be more or less world wide, and to be totally candid I fail to see how that will ever come to pass.
How countires like China, Brazil, India and the Indonesian terrirotries can be made to take some measures that will be deeply injurious to their economies and cultres is a complete mystery to conventional thinking.
Then add in that in America you have a regime that is completley anti Clmate Change to the point where all references to it have been excluded from all future trade agreements with the USA.
In the meantime we can struggle-on using our bags for life and segregating our garbage I suppose.
PS: As for oil "running out" Iran have just published details of their latest discovery of approx., 55bl barrels. and that equates to 55bl times 79 US gallons per barrel, times 14% more when cracked at the refinery . . . .
PPS: I am very sceptical when it comes to electric car mileage claims as it seems that the claimed figures are only from a straight run . . . . no stopping and starting, no long hill climbs or excessive loads in the car (2 or more people) and no traffic jams . . . .
