A group of people are all driving up here from the Bay Area this weekend just to ride their bikes. And the guy who called me yesterday to let me know they were coming is flying to Easter Island to go look at the heads.

At what point do we change our behavior? When summer temps reach 120F? 130F?

People seem to be looking outside of their own behavior for a solution. You are the solution. But the solution means sacrifice. And I dare anyone to argue that it isn't.
