While I do agree that global warming may or may not be a cycle or trend, how hard is it to cut down on using fossil fuels just to improve the quality of air we breathe? No, the air isn't unbreathable. And we're lucky not to be stuck in a metropolis like Los Angeles or Toronto with huge smog clouds and stifling tempertatures. But it could be a hell of a lot better.

A solution I have read about is pass on spending the vast amounts of money on emissions control and instead invest it into the research and development sector for alternative fuels.
They have been doing this in the US for decades and look at where all the advancements have been made in wind and solar power.
The best way to get through this is replace fossil fuels as our primary fuel as quickly as possible.
