The bigger question is "what is causing the warming and does man have an impact"
IMHO the jury is still out on that question. Termites generate 1268 times the amount of CO2 that man does. Man was not around in any great degree during the last great climate warming or the ice age. We can all agree the earth is warming, where we differ is why. That is where the focus should be, and get off the political debate.
Fossil fuels generate CO2, wind farms kill birds, Solar farms utilize way to much land, nuclear generates radio active waste. There is no good answer except turn off all the lights, heat, AC, and remove all the cars and trucks and golf carts. But then we would all starve to death. Probably the better answer is to use them all and do so with as little environment impact as possible for each. The world will get warmer either way. We need to understand why and how to adapt and survive, not how to prevent it. We can't.

I agree with most of your reply to my post, but I think you crossed a line when you wrote get rid of golf carts.
