“Increased knowledge about global warming leads to apathy,”

What a biased description. Apathy? How about well-founded doubts?

I predict that there will be a big public outcry to increase drilling, get new nuclear power on-line, etc. by the time Nov. comes around.

Well said, but I actually agree with the statement. The more I learn that Global Warming is just a recurring natural cycle and there's no evidence of future calamities**. The more apathy I have for the topic. I'm pretty apathetic about the sky falling too.

**Gloom and doom predictions about the seas rising and storms and all that does NOT qualify as evidence of future calamities. Perhaps when those that have been predicting these events for the past 3 decades, achieve an accuracy rate higher then the psychics in the National Enquirer; we'll revisit their ruminations. Based on many of these predictions it should be warm enough to BBQ in January. Yet its the end of May, and I still have my heat on at night.
