I agree also. If we have really influenced climate change in such a short time with our energy consumption, then using low energy light bulbs & turning the central heating down one degree is hardly enough I'd have thought.
Our houses are full of appliances we don't need, most things would be classed as luxuries. How do you persuade people to get rid of the TV and their 2nd car , or stop traveling abroad on planes? how many people that are concerned about climate change are leading from the front and taken these steps already? Problem is we live in a society obsessed with improving their standard of living , not reducing it.
