To add to my previous comments...

What I think we have here, is that we have people that don't WANT to believe that global warming is real, happening, and partly/mostly our fault. If you believed that, then things might have to be done:

-Get rid of my fast car/SUV
-More expensive electricity
-Lower standard of living, perhaps (remains to be seen given technology advances)
-Nasty changes in weather, etc

Personally, I don't WANT to believe that global warming is real either! I'd love to be able to continue to drive a fast car, SUV or other gas guzzler without it affecting the atmosphere. I'd love it if coal were clean, and CO2 didn't matter, as we have tons of cheap coal in the United States.

Ultimately, I think it's likely that moving to alternative energy is going to impact our standard of living somewhat, for a period of time while the adjustment occurs. Overall, though, it's likely necessary and will help keep the planet nice for our children. And our children's children. And our children's children's children! (sorry, had to do the Monty Python reference)
