Psychology of Global Warming

title Dan Gilbert
description Wonder why humans can't get it together to get together and solve world problems? Stumbling on Happiness author/psychologist Dan Gilbert has some ideas. He heads the Hedonic Psychology Lab at Harvard. Media-savvy, he's an entertaining speaker. A memorable quote from this talk: "The fact is that climate change, if it were caused by gay sex, or caused by the practice of eating puppies, millions of Americans would right now be massing on the street insisting that the administration do something about it."
