Also at Huffington Post a blog on why people are so resistant to change and
ignore the warnings about global warming and peak oil.

>From the article:


Environmentalists are now finally realizing that this is actually a problem
of human psychology and human behavior, not just climate science, technology
or resource scarcity. As a species, we don't seem to be very good at
understanding enormous, complex challenges like the ones we're presently
facing, let alone processing our emotional responses to these threats and
moving into action.

The core problem is that humans are HIGHLY resistant to cultural and
behavioral change!
