What would you say reducing Co2 emissions to 350ppm would involve?

e.g. would technological innovations and changes be enough, or would a wholesale re-organisation of how society works be required?
For example, I understand that ships produce massive amounts of Co2, so would addressing the problem mean restricting the amount of goods shipped around the world?
Alternatively, modern western society relies on an extended "supply chain" [...]

What is the probability that the world will unite to lower CO2 emissions enough to make any difference?

Please no speeches about whether GW is real. I’m only asking about getting the world united about anything. 100% would be total confidence in world unity. Given that we can not get unanimous support to boycott Iran to prevent nuclear catastrophe. China and India both have said they will not slow down [...]

Why are Democrats for reducing CO2 emissions, but not for Deforestation Prevention and Reforestation?

Democrats will spend Billions on reducing CO2 Emissions(Cap and Trade), but will not spend anything on Deforestation Prevention and Reforestation. The forests of the world can process the extra CO2 only if they are not cut down. Reducing CO2 output will not solve the problem at all unless you also reforest.
Example: Obama voting [...]

When the Lib’s pass cap and tax do you think the bill will include second hand co2 emissions from people?

Since we all exhale Co2 and the EPA has deemed harmful do you think we should have to breath someones second hand breath? I don’t like breathing cigarette smoke and this is regulated. The Dems will probably regulate second hand breathing too.
They found a way to tax the air we Breathe.

What are US goals for reducing total domestic CO2 emissions?

In percentage, if possible.
Thank you!
Only for CO2 emissions please. Not overall greenhouse gases.
In percentage, if possible.
Thank you!
The U.S and China plan to limit Carbon Dioxide waste given off by both their nations. These two nations are the biggest polluters on the Earth. The most recent U.N meeting the U.S representatives agreed to cut emissions [...]

What are the co2 emissions (in lbs per gallon) of a CNG bus?

I cannot find this for the life of me. I know that typically 19.4 lbs of co2 are released for every gallon of gasoline, but I need to know how much compressed natural gas (CNG) produces!!!
CNG or compressed natural gas, (CH4) is a compressed gas and not a liquid. It is not typically measured [...]

Why has 0bama cut n run on Copenhagen? Shouldn’t he just cut our CO2 emissions to zero via green jobs?

… and all that wonderful technology he swore he would create?
Why does he care what other countries do about CO2? Shouldn’t he just lead the way, set an example and cut our emissions to zero? Besides, didn’t he promise we would get wealthier in the process via green economy?
THE PROBLE IS THAT THE "AMERICAN [...]

isn’t the atmosphere too large to be affected by human CO2 emissions?

Let me start by saying that i am a strong believer in AGW.
A recurring argument presented by the deniers is that "the atmosphere is far to large to be affected by human emissions of CO2", would someone be able to explain to me why this is not the case?
Thanks.
The atmosphere may seem to large to [...]

Can the US best reduce global CO2 emissions by reducing trade with China?

US manufactures are more efficient and produce less CO2 than their Chinese competitors.

Should the Obama administration put a high carbon tax on Chinese imports (and other high emission countries)? Can Americans go green and reduce their $200 per person per month trade deficit by buying US made goods?
Several thoughtful answers. Lets see where [...]

Can you write me a poem about Cutting back on CO2 Emissions?

That would be great. I need it to add to my poster entitled "Open A Window" catchy, I know!
Anyway, I feel like a neat poem would be a great accent to my poster.
Thanks in advance!
Yo,yo, yo, YO! I want to get a shot out to all my Homies in Sacto, Dog Chapman, the [...]
