How many people here are willing to limit themselves to 1 day on the Internet a week to save electricty?

Here is the thing, people have not been forced to change. Car manufactures have been forced to change as well as factories. Cars of 20 years ago were belching CO2 like no tomorrow. The manufactures were advised that CO2 belching cars can not happen anymore. So the air pump/catalytic convertor were invented. Great, reduced emissions. But that was not good enough. Big government wanted more reduction. Computers (ROM) are jammed under the dash. MAF, MAP, coolent, throttle position sensors are created reducing emissions even further. The infamouse 'check engine' light! Then to get to the ultimate 14:1 air/fuel mixture, that magic number, carbs were tossed and fuel injection inserted. Now direct injection is used...20% more efficent and cleaner. The cars today are just about spitting only water out of the tailpipe. Yet we still warm!?! What gives? So, some only changed by purchasing a better more efficient car. In reality, all new cars are more efficient the cars of yester-year. We therefore are not told to change a thing. We are only beaten into submission over an ever warming climate and told we are the cause yet the cars and factories are much more efficient. We are ASKED to recycle but never forced. Do we continue on that path without reduction and or a temp that is staying constant? Does anyone really think the warming would stop if every car on the road was kept from running?
