It depends, do you live on the leeward side of one of the Hawaiian islands, or North Dakota?

That is true, solar, wind and tide power sources will at the best supplement fossil energy...Building more efficient homes and vehicles also cuts down on fossil fuel use....I think it's time we stopped arguing about the problem and begin applying solutions...

You can build all the sustainable BS and put up a windmill in every back yard in the entire nation and the climate will still change.

Of course not.... Humans have never been so numerous in numbers with the technology to alter climate in these modern times. The carbon foot print of humans would be significantly smaller a thousand years a go than today.....

If your so worried cut your power and stop warming up the planet. I swear I don't know how you folks live with yourselves warming up the globe and all on a daily basis.
Why? We certainly have the efficiency and technology to use less energy, and America has certainly been doing that.......

I don't know how you live with yourself, posting things you know aren't true......

Yes it will, nobody is saying that it won't. Are you suggesting that we just sit on our hands and do nothing at all to mitigate that change? That is a pretty defeatist attitude you have there..... At least it's better than burning tires in your back yard.

Nothing needs to be mitigated. If you want to do what you think you need to do then do it. Don't try and steal others money to play your fantasy games though which is all that is going on. Mitigate it right now. Turn off your electricity to your home and sell your car. You probably don't need plumbing either because of that evil water treatment plant. Go find a well or catch rainwater although the EPA regulates that now. LOL
