I'm sure you mean well. In your greatly enlightened state you feel you have to shepherd us children into the glorious return of the glaciers and lowering of ocean levels. I don't doubt that the Earth is warming, that's just a matter of reading a thermometer over a period of years. I don't doubt mankind contributes to this greatly and may even be the main cause. What I do doubt is that by a few "simple" "painless" measures we will somehow save the world and return it to it's great stable state it was in before the evils of the Industrial Revolution. I'm not averse to conservation, hell it saves me money. I'm okay with green as long as it's economically viable. What I do object to is a bunch of know everything arrogant people insisting that they have all the answers. I very sincerly doubt that anything less than draconian, desperate measures (worldwide!) will do anything to even slow, much less stop global warming. As countries like China and India and others become more and more economic powerhouses they are greatly increasing output. Crippling the US economy will do little to help if we don't have global consensus on the matter and these other countries have been down for so long they aren't going to be happy to be told to control output to avert some global disaster that may or may not happen down the road. Sneer at me all you want but the fact is we didn't get here overnight and without dictatorial power worldwide we aren't getting out of it anytime soon if at all.
