Has global warming complacency already set in?

Joshua Jones on December 30, 2007 | 1131 Views

Just find it kind of sick that the whole world seems to have gone back to sleep after the Bali event at which the countries decided to agree on meeting again to decide on the next steps after Kyoto! Am I missing something here? I just hope that some indviduals will continue to push for the changes needed now. Everyone I talk to agrees that governments need to regulate to make a real difference, but I just worry we might be placing our trust in a system that might be too slow. Josh.
