Travails in the US - carbon reduction a stretch

Apparently the energy crisis is shifting Americans' attitudes to global warming - they're less worried. Hard to tell from the NBC report exactly what this means, although I gather 58 percent of them are still worried about the direction in which the environment is heading.

Judging from the picture on the right, maybe they never were that serious. I've never seen a stretch Hummer before and would hate to think what its carbon footprint would be, but going on its wheel base, it must be considerable! This one was parked briefly outside the Hyatt Regency at Waikiki where the Civic Video Pipeline conference was held.
