That's true, but I think most Americans know that it is a serious and very real problem....it's much more the government that acts like it's not a problem. They of course don't talk about it so yes, some people that ignore what is happening outside of their own little life in their own little town have no clue to what's really going on. I mean I read about this shit (including our eventual need for an alternative source of fuel) in my Weekly Reader in 1987 when I was in first grade. I don't know, saving the planet before things get out of hand sounds like a pretty cool idea to me.
