Sorry, but I don´t buy it. This is not about scientists, it´s about complacency. As long as cheap oil provides a comfy ride in a comfy car, comfy electricity, and a comfy a/c, why bother worrying about all the downsides that come with that comfort. Denial is (again) the comfortable choice. Plus, as it seems right now, it´s the American choice.
