Of course you can.

OK, you can, but it doesn't make sense to take little steps if you get no other benefit from them and you don't have enough time for those little steps to actually solve the problem.

The solution will provide for less air pollution - not a bad thing as asthma and allergies continue to spike. Any solution will make us less dependant on ME oil, also not a bad thing unless you like endless wars in the sand. And any solution will bring a bunch of jobs to the smart ones who get there first. These are bad things?

As you say, there can be other benefit. So go do them for their other benefit, sell them for their other benefit, not to stop GW, because there is a strong probability that either the GW problem isn't really a catastrophic problem after all or that, if it is, you can't stop it. And if you luck out and do stop GW with them, that's gravy.

Does that mean like Gore? If the science is half right that most are agreeing on - these people aren't zealots they are realist.

I'll say this one more time: If they are right, then there is no fix and we should be looking at adaptations, not fixes.

It will obviously HAVE to be a bunch of little steps that will make the solution possible.

Not obvious at all. Wrongheaded IMO.
