This post makes the argument that changing the conversation about integral warming — a conversation that has become politically charged — into a conversation about energy conservation, which will not cause immediate and sometimes hostile reactions that speaking about climate change does, is a more effective strategy to pursue for those concerned about climate change.
Energy conservation helps the goals of those concerned about many energy issues including global warming and this post suggests that it may be a more effective means of achieving the goal.

energyNOW! correspondent Lee Patrick Sullivan visited Kansas, where some clean energy advocates say they’ve figured out what it takes to convince climate-change skeptics to invest in renewables and energy efficiency.
Their advice: stop talking about global warming and change the conversation to energy conservation.
