I found a nice affirmation of these ideas in a blog post by a republican meteorologist. He writes:

“For evidence of climate change don’t look at your back yard thermometer. That’s weather. Take another, longer look at your yard. Look at the new flowers, trees, birds, insects and pests showing up outside your kitchen window that weren’t there a generation ago.”

“This is a moral issue. Because the countries least responsible will bear the brunt of rising seas, spreading drought and climate refugees. Because someday your grandkids will ask what did you know…when…and what did you do to help?”

Nice connection. I was just thinking how I haven’t actually had the personal transportation transformation that I’m advocating for others: I’ve always biked as my primary mode of transportation. So I can’t speak to how someone else would make that leap, how they would break the car habit. Just that the change needs to be made! Mark and I were discussing how hard it is for adults to break habits versus youngsters. This spring I’m focusing my efforts on students at Ithaca College and Cornell, helping them to give up their cars for bikes.

Not sure if you listen to NPR, but I just caught this piece about changing habits that seemed be the next step in your post.
