Yes, right now I think a lot of folks are just yanking our chain and creating a lot of confusion.
Aside from discussions/planning taking place inside government, it is interesting seeing more and more corporations spending a lot of internal resources on developing Environmental Management Systems (EMS), which reduces the company's negative impact on the environment, positions them more strongly in the marketplace, and often saves them money. To me things like this are probably the biggest observable cultural shifts happening today, but beyond that it can just be a lot of frenetic energy whirling about because folks are wound up and have no distinct direction to go. Why? Because so many big, impactful decisions have not been made yet.
I take a watch and wait attitude for now and do what I can....mostly because using just what I need is an attractive concept for me regardless of how the dynamics of climate change play out.
