My personal view on the whole global warming/man kind is bad/ go green as long as it can't be seen/ mentality is that to buy into it, you must accept false science which is sold as gospel truth [never figured how atheist tree hugger could have "gospel anything", but that is yet another quandary].
Since there is a demonstrated predilection for self denial and acceptance of misrepresentation of facts, it seems to me successful advertising should be based on yet another blitz of half truths and outright lies. The "new green" invention that "heals all mistakes in software and judgement". Slap a little organic peanut butter on that and sell it.. Or, organize a "citizens buyback program" based on the "cash for clunkers" and crush a token few on camera with a big media splash to as-wage the injured egos, while shipping the rest to a sales lot in an area where people don't really believe the EPA dogma, own guns, and vote red state. Take a tidy profit in the middle.. Hey... I'm a Capitalist.. I see profit potential..
