Why Are Americans So Fearful?. Start with the media if you ask me (as per the "Bowling For Columbine" theory).

Ron Paul on the Record

question
So you don't consider climate change a major problem threatening civilization?

answer
No. [Laughs.] I think war and financial crises and big governments marching into our homes and elimination of habeas corpus -- those are immediate threats. We're about to lose our whole country and whole republic! If we can be declared an enemy combatant and put away without a trial, then that's going to affect a lot of us a lot sooner than the temperature going up.
