There does seem to have been some slow movement in the USA towards recognising this. Sure there are doubts about the causes and consequences of climate change but the thing that always strikes me is that all the measures suggested to mitigate climate change are in themselves sensible things to do given the finite nature of the oil resource that is available. It seems a total no-brainer to take steps to look after what is a precious resource, reduce the dependency of the west on politically problematical sources of oil in the Middle East and Russia and mitigate some of the likely consequences of climate change.
