If you care about getting climate change legislation through Congress, I hate to tell you this, but we have a problem. Jon Stewart thinks its boring. Opposition may be difficult to defeat, but at least when people are interested, you have a chance of changing their mind. When they're bored, they don't even think there's anything going on that's worth their attention.
Changing course on greenhouse gas emissions will require changing not only our minds, but our behaviors. If someone like Jon Stewart thinks the debate is boring, it's going to be hard to convince enough people that the debate is worth their attention and even harder to convince them that changing our course is necessary. I wish I knew how to do it, but I don't have a clue.1

1I keep hoping that a brilliant flash of insight will come to me as I'm reading Unscientific America, but so far my bulb is as dim as ever.
