I agree to a degree Fahim however there are forces at work that corrupt the market such that one must wonder if it may be wise to regulate the market...why because the market allows for greed and waste of resources and it matters not that some decent folk seek to do the right thing etc.....
I use less energy than anyone in this country I bet..I store my own rain water..no desalination fees, no energy to pump it around town...I generate my own electricity for my humble electric appliances... and lately I have been sharing transport costs
Anyways as I said I feel there is no action that will head off any human input to the problem...and from all I have read it seems the Earth has had many many many changes in its climate..presumably those earlier changes were without the input of humans...and things changed back ..without the input of humans...
However global warming is the new industry... just look at those earning very good livings from pointing out the problem or attending conferences to dribble on about what to do... so many involved are hypocrites... talk talk talk but on a personal level do nothing but consume and waste as a capitalist economy demands of us...
