The last century proves nothing of this. It suggests there may be a connection no more.
Why would I want to change my lifestyle and reduce the quality of my life if this would not make a difference to by kids, cost me more money and worst still, show I support a campaign that has no more effect on our environment other than who is in charge today. For too long now, the media have only printed one side of the story. Is it not about time the real facts came to life....
Now, if I was to select a mondeo instead of a discovery, how much of a change will that make in the world? I am not going to wear out the zero key on my laptop to put the numbers up.
As for reduction of your carbon foot print, lets google the facts of that one.
The Kyoto Protocol calls for mandatory carbon dioxide reductions of 30% from developed countries like the U.S. Reducing man-made CO2 emissions this much would have an undetectable effect on climate while having a devastating effect on the U.S. economy. Can you drive your car 30% less, reduce your winter heating 30%? Pay 20-50% more for everything from automobiles to zippers? And that is just a down payment, with more sacrifices to come later.
Such drastic measures, even if imposed equally on all countries around the world, would reduce total human greenhouse contributions from CO2 by about 0.035%.
This is much less than the natural variability of Earth's climate system!
While the greenhouse reductions would exact a high human price, in terms of sacrifices to our standard of living, they would yield statistically negligible results in terms of measurable impacts to climate change. There is no expectation that any statistically significant global warming reductions would come from the Kyoto Protocol.

The world is going to continue on its path, me, I prefer to make the world better by educating my kids in the real facts of this planet. If you where relay considering your carbon footprint then the PC you are using would be off as it produces about 200-500w of waste heat in an hour, green house gasses where made producing the energy to run that PC just to let the heat escape.
