If people believe Man Made Global Warming is true, why don't they do
anything effective about it? The Kyoto protocol will have a negligible
effect, and there has been little progress on a replacement treaty. A
reduction of 80-90% in carbon emissions by industrialized nations would be
required. This is what is needed to produce an overall 50% reductions
because 3rd world emissions are rising rapidly. To put this level of
reductions in context, 10% of your household electricity consumption
consists of appliances on standby.

If people really believed this, we would see radically different
behavior. Eg a massive switch to nuclear for electricity and
nuclear-generated hydrogen for transport. Greenhouse taxes to create the
right incentives across the economy.

I don't think that switching to nuclear power will reduce the problem.
That would still result in thermal death to the world.

Only renewable energy sources are the solution, coupled with a drastic
cut in population levels.
