Yeah, we've got plenty of time. We don't need to think in terms of taking much faster steps to mitigate AGW (forget about reining it in. THat's over. The best we can hope for is to slow it down a bit) - especially if it would bother Big Oil's profitability and revenues (just to focus on the transportation sector as it is one that we can produce someof the fastest change in - changes we can make in the power production sector will take much longer to produce as much change in GHG emissions).

Yeah, what we worry??
