You'll have to explain this to me. I'm not quite on the bandwagon.

We can't really end global warming at this point - its happening and it will continue to happen for the forseeable future. But, I don't want to be snippy - haven't had all my coffee yet this morning.

I think these sorts of things like carbon taxes, etc., are good first stepping stones - and may even lead to different thinking about fossil fuels if they become to expensive to utilize.
