Drunk on Petroleum Products

One Quarter of Canadians Drive While Intoxicated, Poll Finds

That's the headline for an Epoch Times story that made me think of Global Warming. 

A recent CAA survey found that "98 percent were of the opinion that drinking and driving is unacceptable". They also determined "24 percent got behind the wheel in the past year believing they were above or near the legal limit for impaired driving". Another Epoch Times story reports: "More than three quarters of Canadians support random breath tests".

Here is the connection. Most people are of the opinion that Global Warming is also a serious problem, yet they do little to slow it. The situation is described as: "an apparent disconnect between belief and actual practice". It seems people know there is a problem, and they lack the will to do something about it, so they seek guidance. 

Of course if those drunks could be discouraged from driving the roads would be safer and the carbon foot print would be reduced at the same time.
