So environmental consciousness cannot exist mutually exclusive of green marketing? You're trying to point out an inconsistency, yet there isn't one.
If I buy a CF lightbulb that a) lasts longer than a filament bulb and b) saves me money, that's a little different that buying a prius. I never claimed to be "green" - I drive a car with a 5.7L engine for example - what I said what that making environmental choices that reduce energy use have a net positive effect on both the environment and your pocketbook. Neither of which have anything to do with global warming / climate change.
Global Warming has become a political term, and most people like things dumbed down as much as possible, they want to know the "package" they are dealing with when talking to someone. It becomes troublesome when a person can be skeptical of global warming and yet environmentally conscious, since most people just "buy-in" to the whole lot.
