"Multi-generational" still doesn't carry the message far and wide. In very simple language, carbon emissions are an act of violence and genocide.

IMHO, people are not averse to long-term or multi-generational thinking. They just want to know what they can do about it.

They need price signals which tells them what a stuff or service truly costs. They need good role models who Do-As-They-Say. They need simple do's and don'ts, what's in and what's not.

The success of these efforts rests on whether the resultant lifestyles have enough health, happiness and other experiences that human seek better than the deal they have today. Do they see their leaders and role models as fair and just and very importantly as people, who DO-THEMSELVES_AS-THEY-SAY-FOR-OTHERS.

The people they know of the Al Gores and the Obamas certainly do not qualify.
