It's common for climate change skeptics to blame reality on the Al Gores of the world. However, those  who have acknowledged climate change's seriousness are more than just politicians and environmentalists. The CEOs of Shell, Wal Mart, GE, BP, Duke Energy, Virgin, and several others, have all called on our leaders to take action. Also in this camp is the U.S. military, the faith-based community, and scores of university presidents who have signed a pledge to reduce emissions on their campuses.
