Why is the world opening up to environmental activism?

You know, there's so many reasons, we have kind of a perfect storm; Perfect storm being a very apt metaphor because of Hurricane Katrina and, you know, other weather related situations that have occured. It's gotten people's attention, that there might be something to global climate change. You know people are starting to listen to the people who have PhD and who are quite knowledgeable in this arena. People who know about climate science and nearly all of them agree that a global climate change is occuring and most importantly that man has a big impact on it. So, if we have a big impact to the negative, we can certainly impact it to the positive and you know, as I've said there's one powerful lady that's motivated us to do all that. Her name is Katrina and that I think got everybody's attention. And then, Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth" I think also came at just the right time, within a relatively short period of time from Hurricane Katrina and other situations like that. More and more science coming out all the time in science magazines, nature magazines, prestigious peer reviewed studies in journals. People are starting to wake up to is and see that maybe there is something to this.
