Warning Signs: Save the Earth! Get Rid of Your Refrigerator!
Why is it that, at the very moment Congress is being asked to pass a huge energy tax called “Cap-and-Trade”, supposedly intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Greenpeace has chosen to begin warning everyone about the chemicals in refrigerators and air conditioners as the next great threat?

“We must aggressively phase out HFCs to effectively combat climate change,” says Greenpeace USA.

Why is it that Greenpeace is lying about greenhouse gas emissions, largely carbon dioxide and methane, both produced naturally by the Earth, as the cause of something that ended ten years ago? The Earth has been cooling since 1998. You’d think that NOAA and the EPA would know about that, wouldn’t you?

UK citizens told how [using a clothesline will allegedly improve the world's weather]
The UK government has produced a pamphlet which highlights how lifestyle changes can help stop climate change.

In an attempt to raise awareness of how ordinary citizens can reduce their carbon emissions and save money, the leaflet will be sent to thousands of organisations across the country, including GP surgeries, libraries and schools.

According to the Telegraph, the pamphlet will detail how small gestures can make a significant impact on the carbon reduction process.

Specific examples include hanging washing on a line outside rather than using a tumble dryer; taking showers rather than baths and turning household appliances off rather than leaving them on standby when not in use.
New Statesman - UK to outline climate change strategy
Gordon Brown is to pledge that the UK will play a leading role in securing global agreement on a new treaty to tackle climate change.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the Road to Copenhagen document, Ed Miliband, the Climate Change Secretary, warned that public awareness of the dangers of climate change remained too low.

He said: “People are still not sufficiently aware of the scale of the problem this could create for them and future generations in Britain.
...
Miliband emphasised that “defeatism” was not an option and called on leaders to be in the “business of optimism”.

There's a real danger of defeatism in this debate, a danger people think 'nothing can be done, it's inevitable, let's just hide under the bedclothes’,” he said.
