Wealthy proponents like Al Gore and Hollywood celebrities are unwilling to change their extravagant lifestyles and large carbon footprints, but are not likely to be hurt by energy price increases. Their less wealthy followers who refuse to think beyond "rah-rah" rallies against carbon emissions don't realize that the radical changes they advocate will come back to bite their wallets. I am all for mitigating carbon emissions, but to do it more with our brains than our emotions.
