[pp.int.general] Don't roast our planet

[Ray076NL]

Okay let me try to formulate an answer out of my own thoughts.
It is freekishly cold at this time of year in the netherlands, last year 
it was 30 degrees centegrate, it is barely hitting 15 now, so, about the 
warming of the earth: im not entirely convinced and in my eyes it may 
have a natural cause.

point 2: what do you want to do against global warming, if it is caused 
by CO2 as people always say? Getting everybody to cycle instead of 
driving SUV's should be a start, but i guess thats not something you can 
force on people.

So, my question for you will be: /in you opinion, what would be 
necessary to reach that goal of turning the heat down/? im living in the 
netherlands, we'll all drown thanks to the rest of the world, just like 
in bangladesh.
