I don't think voters are stupid, I just think all politcs are local. If times are good, they stay the course, if times are bad, they vote everyone out. Right or wrong, that's the way I see it.
It's hard to convince someone that a global climate change is going to have an impact on their lives, especially if the change is gradual and not likely to occur in their lifetimes.
Besides people have always been predicting catastrophic environmental events (remember the ozone layer - do we even care about that anymore?)
In my mind, voters are just human.
But, having said that, I wish Al Gore would run for president.
