Re: steps to stop global warming

Also regardless of whether GW is anthropogenically influenced or not oil (and to a less urgent extent coal) are definitely running out , this in an incontrevertible fact. even more pressingly before exhaustion of supply we will (soon) reach a peak oil situation (ie one where demand outstrips supply rocketting the price up).

therefore the steps taken against GW - which are nearly all related to reducing our carbon footprint- will be valuable whether the argument for anthropogenic climate change is correct or not because carbon based energy sources (with the exception of wood, biofuel, and biomass) will not be with us forever
