Global Warming

I actually do not know where to stand on this. To me it seems that there is a lot of a misinformation and supposition. If it is true then we should be ok as it will become more difficult to access our reserves and people will be more inclined to buy efficient cars, especially with the price of fuel. After reading Freakonomics i think we stand in good stead of getting out ok. Either fuel prices need to decrease or consumption must decrease and this will incentivise to use less use regardless of global warming, we will not be ablt to keep it up economically.

Regardless, reducing emissions is a great thing, breathing becomes easier and less chance of things like cancer.

What can one person do to reduce "global warming" if it is CO2 based? I for one could reduce but the world needs 1000's of me. So will this ever happen? Not through want/benefit of the planet but to keep ourselves alive, we are a selfish mammal, our impact is larger than any other but that is also just natures way, we are all out to survive.

We could talk aboout where did it all start, Big Bang / God?

"Either fuel prices need to decrease or consumption must decrease and this will incentivise to use less use regardless of global warming"

How will decreasing fuel prices encourage people to use less fuel ?

if they integratalated a cigar lighter in the fuel tank that might just incentivisalise many gibbonays to use a horse and cart instead thereby reducing fuel consumption. good job i don't work for a car manufacturer ay!
