But it's no use just blaming pusillanimous politicians. They should frighten their countries witless with the inconvenient truth – but there is a limit to how far ahead of their people any leader can go, elected or not. NGO protesters make much-needed noise, but they wouldn't have to if most people were already with them.Polly seems to be suggesting that politicians should use An Inconvenient Truth to create fear in their countries so that the population will be more open to the solutions they suggest, to move them in the direction that the politicians want to go.
The second suggestion, that the protesters belong to NGOs, is a staggering admission of manipulation. One has to wonder which protesters she refers to? If the G20 demonstration and the COP15 demonstration were not spontaneous events but were organised by NGOs .....

She also concedes that, despite years of propaganda and lies, most people are not "with them".
The whole crusty demo thing is curious in that they are protesting in favour of what the new eco-establishment are pressing for despite the seemingly obvious fact that it is all about creating a new money making scam in the name of Carbon Trading.
