if people just made a start, it would be something. Would it? How much of a difference would it make? Would it fix the problem or merely postpone it for a few years? Has anyone plotted that out? Do we know it's feasible and what the economics are? I know how keen you are on economic factors. Very small cars If it's not likely to fix the problem, does it make sense to, say, lose a son now in an auto accident in a tiny car to avoid perhaps losing his great, great, great, great, great, etc. grandchildren to, say, flooding? Has anyone thought that out?

I've taken a lot of steps in my own life to offset the family's use of carbon, so much so much so that we are conserving more CO2 than we use already. The biggest step was planting trees. I also telecommute. And we recycle like crazy. None of the solutions you've described are political solutions. And none of them have anything to do with electing Gore. I mention this because I feel like the whole "global warming" bit is a "gotcha" that is supposed to catapult Gore into office.
