Move over Coke, global warming has top billing!<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Few people really, truly understand climate change\/global warming because of scientific gobbledygook that confuses, for example: (1) Unique language- \u201cpositive feedback loops\u201d or \u201calbedo\u201d (2) Extent- \u201cslowing thermohaline\u201d (3) Measurement- \u201cKeeling Curve\u201d (4) Tipping points \u201cmethane clathrates\u201d (5) Geological cycles such as \u201cHolocene.\u201d Or, how about Anthropogenic or Pleistocene?<\/p>\n<p>Those unfamiliar exotic words are unique to climate science but foreign to the Average Joe, thus overwhelming and feeling kinda dumb. Accordingly, how can people discuss or ponder the issue? They can\u2019t! And, they don\u2019t! Ipso facto, the biggest problem haunting public perception of climate change is raw ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>Granted public opinion polls show people strongly favor tackling climate change, and they\u2019re hip to the idea of strong opposition to the global warming monster (but, who isn\u2019t!) Then again, it doesn\u2019t matter if they\u2019re 99% because America\u2019s Congress and WH are all-in 100% for fossil fuels, \u201clet the chips fall will they may.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, America\u2019s Congress has never ever tackled the global warming issue, but yet Wal-Mart\u2019s \u201cProject Gigaton\u201d plans to go 50% solar by 2025. Both Target and Wal-Mart are already, right now, in the thick of installing solar energy systems like crazy.
