Well, regarding CO2, we do have retreating glaciers and breaking ice shelfs to put on TV.
But those don't have the same visceral impact that satelite images of a hole in the ozone layer do. People see those pictures and think: "that's a hole in our air! Fuckin' space could get in through that! You know what's in space? 'Cause I know for certain we sure as hell can't breath it."

And I kinda disagree about industry. For every industry opposed to cutting emissions, there's another fledgling industry waiting to take off. The green technology revolution could be like the internet revolution of the 1990s.
And lets hope for the sake of the planet at large that this is allowed to be the case.

This has bemused me over the last few days ...
"if Dr Costello and his colleagues are right and the profit motive can drive the sustainability of fisheries" ((
http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?source=hptextfeature&story_id=12253181))
"sharing, rather than competing, can make fishing safer, preserve fish populations" (from the original quoted article)
You'd never know the articles were reporting the same story and making the exact same claims.
