The simple fact is that reducing GHG is not the answer - its great to say but stopping something or reducing something has never been an answer to anything because humanity as a whole doesnt and never will have the collective will power to do it - it never has.

The answer is likely to be something we dont have yet, and that is the ability to simply rebuild the ozone layer. Why spend trillions of dollars on changing our economy when we could spend billions to develop a way to rebuild the ozone.

There by allowing us to burn all the fossil fuels we want and then let the market decide when we switch when oil runs out, the price hikes and people naturally move to an alternate method of transportation. That of course wont happen because Global Warming cannot be financially measured as to the cause/effect. When it can, then research into fixing it will become more real and less bs.

It is my opinion that the current Global Warming argument of "you driving cars are killing us you right wing facists" is simply because those who push that idea dont like the fact that we are consuming the earths natural resources. Of course they cant sell that argument outside the port of San Francisco so they mask it in statements of "electic vehicles" etc etc etc. If they were serious about Global Warming they would be using their puppets in Washington - Pilosi etc to push for funding on how to repair the ozone and how to decrease the average temperature of the planet instead of all on alternative forms of transportation.

From what I know, the simplistic version of the argument is as follows:

burn fossil fuels, the emissions kill the ozone, thereby heating the earth.

If that is the case and today we stopped buring all fossil fuels, will the earth still not continue to heat based on the damage already done and so to properly undo global warming you need to "fix" the holes in the atmosphere and somehow cool the earth.

How is everyone driving a Chevy Volt powered by the sun going to actually solve Global Warming - that will cause it to not get worse, but it wont actually fix the problem - right?
