More on Global Warming

I saw Al Gore's an Inconvenient Truth a few days ago. I would really recommend that you watch it. Gore presents some dire predictions about global warming but he also demonstrates that we have the power to reduce C02 emission levels to 1970'ies levels.

However, I'm still of the opinion that we need to balance investments in protecting ourselves against the effects of global warming with investments in reducing CO2 amounts. For example, buy a new Toyota Yaris and save $10,000 compared a new Toyota Prius. Would the environment have been better off if you had used the $10,000 to invest in solar power or insulating your home? What if everyone that bought a Prius in the San Francisco Bay Area had bought a Yaris instead and donated $10,000 to a fund to protect the Area from the effects of rising sea-levels?

Here are some links: Toyota, Consequences of a Rising Bay, the Sun causes global warming, and finally the Sun is not causing global warming.
