My experience with most people and particularily younger people is that it is all talk.
It is a 'feel good' topic but very few people understand the full ramifications of a drastic change in their lifestyles.
Furthermore, economic wealth has a lot to do with industry which is by far the largest consumer of energy, but is often overlooked.
Many so called 'green' methods of producing energy are insufficient for the job.
Lastly, if earth changes are driven by external forces eg. in our solar system then there may be little or nothing we can do. In fact our species
maybe facing a degree of extinction anyways.
