Interesting Euro-centric view of the US.  I might say that the problem 
is not that we are climate illiterate, but rather science illiterate.  
Thus Mooney and Kirschenbaum's book, Unscientific America.

There are a lot of things that can be done.  But, I think that we need 
to get to know our local representative a lot better than we do, or for 
them to get to know us:

Honda, McNerney, Eshoo, Lofgren, Stark all have to know that there is a 
constituency that cares deeply about this and who are willing to reflect 
this at the ballot box.  At the same time, we need to hammer Boxer's 
office all we can.

The Nuclear Information and Referral Service is scheduling October 15 as 
a "call in day."  I will post more about that on California Greening as 
it gets nearer.
