you're right, keith. thanks for taking the time to point that out. it's a sort of double-think process. there's no doubt in my mind that many of those who have dialed down their sense of urgency vis a vis global warming still believe it's a serious problem, but the mild temps means part of their mind starts to listen to the denial arguments, if only to allow themselves to postpone the inevitable adjustments. the whole consumerist paradigm is indeed fundamental. i wanted to tie that in but was a bit pressed for time so tried to hint at it while making my main point. re, the hertzen quote, it definitely has a grim appeal. those russian arnachists were some bad actors, weren't they?
