re: Where's the motivation to make the changes? If you don't have kids then the only incentives are saving money and a sense of satisfaction that you minimized your contribution to the problem. If you have kids, the answer is for their future, and for the future of any grandchildren...

cc O/T <When is someone going to mention ungulates (cows) are responsible for 1/4 of the new green house gases?> FWIW - James Lewis just happened to pen a very good piece yesterday on the subject. (snip) Now imagine that all the variables about global climate are known with less than 100 percent certainty. Let's be wildly and unrealistically optimistic and say that climate scientists know each variable to 99 percent certainty! (No such thing, of course). And let's optimistically suppose there are only one-hundred x's, y's, and z's --- all the variables that can change the climate: like the amount of cloud cover over Antarctica, the changing ocean currents in the South Pacific, Mount Helena venting, sun spots, Chinese factories burning more coal every year, evaporation of ocean water (the biggest "greenhouse" gas), the wobbles of earth orbit around the sun, and yes, the multifarious fartings of billions of living creatures on the face of the earth, minus, of course, all the trillions of plants and algae that gobble up all the CO2, nitrogen-containing molecules, and sulfur-smelling exhalations spewed out by all of us animals. Got that? It all goes into our best math model. americanthinker.com
