"It starts to feel creepy..."

Thomas Friedman

Well, here I am quoting Thomas Freidman again. Here's a sample from his column entitled "A Warning From the Garden":

Don't know about you, but when I see things in nature that I've never seen in my life, like daffodils blooming in January, it starts to feel creepy, like a Twilight Zone segment... I don't care whether it is a federal gasoline tax, carbon tax, B.T.U. tax or cap-and-trade system, power utilities, factories and car owners have to be required to pay the real and full cost to society of the carbon they put into the atmosphere. And higher costs for fossil fuels make more costly clean alternatives more competitive... And prices matter. They drive more and cleaner energy choices. So when the president unveils his energy proposals, if they don't call for higher efficiency standards and higher prices for fossil fuels -- take your socks off yourself. It's going to get hot around here.

Are we going to do it? Are we going to save ourselves from climate catastrophe? Or do we simply not have the will to do it? Are we so attached to our "way of life" that we will commit suicide as a species in order to keep it?
