I think we agree on rather more than we disagree, Roland, and especially on the need to act now rather delay. I think the economic argument that some have used ("we can't afford to do it in the current financial climate") is completely bogus: now is the best time, not only because it's necessary but because investing in effective policies to, for example, reduce energy waste, would provide plenty of jobs and thus a stimulus to the economy. And carbon trading and offsets are a completely useless way of reducing CO2 emissions, though they seem to have been very effective at enriching a few individuals.

The only part I don't really agree with (and it's more a matter of emphasis than a real disagreement) is on environmentally-friendly fuels: they do exist in prototype form, but they are simply not available on a large enough scale to be effective yet. One day, maybe?
