"Bitching" has the very real side effect of informing others.
No offense, but I don't think there's really an information problem right now. There's a willful ignorance problem (mostly republican), and an unwillingness to take the necessary steps problem among those who aren't willfully ignorant (largely democrat).
Example-- if all the American fatties cut back on their food consumption, literally millions fewer animals would exist to fart out methane, and probably billions of vehicle miles (and the carbon to go with them). So can we now start telling people to stop being overweight pigs for their grandchildren's environmental future? Nah-- might hurt someone's feelings, and might get the Yanks muttering about how weighing 500 lbs is free speech.
