Al, what you...and I...and everyone has to do is read, pay attention to the experts, then elect leaders who will also listen to the experts. We can do the individual stuff like light bulbs and insulation also, but some of the big stuff needs to be ORDERED done by someone in charge.

That's how we save the rainforest...we ORDER people to stop trashing it, and enforce the order. Brazil used to ISSUE chain saws to poor farmers, so they could hack out a new farm every 2-3 years...Japan and China are stripping Borneo and Indonesia for plywood and chopstick material.

We 'almost' stopped whaling, but logging is much harder. If we could get the U.N.s attention from petty squabbling over religious wars, we might make some headway!
