The best "carbon neutral" plans MAY be steps in the right direction, but they are only Band-Aids applied to a much larger problem. If the Earth continues to warm, humankind will have to adapt, or die. The chances of the worldwide coordinated effort to collectively fight global warming seems extremely unlikely given our current propensity for war, hoarding resources and the mounting demand for a dwindling supply of essential resources like water and food. Instead of fighting over the last remaining drops of oil, we ought to be putting our resources and greatest minds to the task.
