Very interesting article.  I especially think the comment about how people are complaining about the price of gas is interesting.  Higher gas prices are exactly what we need to get people to change their habits and to motivate us to make other changes, like making more fuel efficient cars, alternative fuel vehicles, and using public transporation.

If we could only get people to stop using electricity we could reduce the CO2 tremendously.  Also, if people would just consider building homes out of mud and grass we could save the forests.
