Adam did not write anything in his mail to insult you, so I don't see why you have to call him names. Even though the current federal government feels the same as you, and can always round up some "scientists" from the Flat Earth Society to support their position, the good news is that many large states are not waiting for Washington to wake up and are taking their own measures to reduce carbon emissions. Likewise, the recent rise in the price of oil which looks to be permanent, is bound to change the behavior of the average American w.r.t. the use of energy. What the government cannot fix, the market will.
