But they don't care, and it shows... just like with respect to "global warming/climate change".
That's why the likes of Al Gore and the corrupt United Nations's "IPCC" and its phony "consensus" surrounding its theory that mankind is destroying the planet by consuming energy... will soon simply give up and quit trying to scare the hell out of us and the money out of our pockets.

Seattle had a day that was supposed to be "car-free", in which driving private vehicles was banned, so as to help promote awareness of global warming, climate change, the environment, all that stuff.
One would expect that, following all the fearmongering over "climate change is humanity's fault; we're destroying the planet and we must stop being comfortable, accept great inconveniences and everything in order to save the world" coming from the likes of snake oil salesman Al Gore, everyone would be panicking and leave their cars rusting in their backyards, instead taking buses, riding bikes/scooters/mopeds/rickshas, or simply walking the five, ten, fifteen, whatever, miles to and from work and whatever. In whatever weather. Just too important to stop destroying our planet, obviously.
But this simply isn't so, despite the wishful thinking of dollar-signs-in-the-eyes folks such as Al Gore and the IPCC, whose theory is considered as gospel even by folks who ought to know better (wink, wink, nudge, nudge to "Canuckguy").
Well, the streets were closed, roadblocked with signs. But...
"I think it promotes awareness of whatever we're promoting awareness of," said resident Thomas Hubbard.
"A car passes by every once in a while, just people trying to get home. And they don't know how to get home," said resident Matt O'Connor.
"I think most people are scratching their heads. I've seen people move the signs and drive through anyway," said Hubbard.
With more police officers diverting traffic than actual people, the city decided to end the event two hours earlier.
Wake us up when Al Gore and David "Scientist-Turned-Lunatic" Suzuki shut their fat yaps up!
