The More Majority

Today I came across this commentary by George Monbiot. He's best when he's flipping something on its head - in this case, the assertion that it's climate change doubters who are ruining the planet. Instead it's the people who accept the science but refuse to do anything that are the culprits.
While Monbiot has a point, I can't help reading his stuff without imagining him thumping a big book (an ecobible?) and hectoring someone. The reality I see is people who know science and do something, but maybe not enough, or maybe they're confused about what to do to cut their energy consumption/carbon emissions, or maybe they want to change but it's incredibly difficult in their current situation.
An unrelated note: I'm listening to Front Row and a great interview with some kids from Manchester who have won a competition to design a new Prime Ministerial residence. They want him to grow his own vegetables and have put solar, wind and water power in the design. Chances of being built: oh well.
