I generally keep away from the causes of global warming and whether & which mitigating factors should be pursued because:
1) What if the skeptics are right & it really issun spots, 6 billion people breathing out, too many cows not fed NO-GAS, aliens, or whatever making it hot - we still may end up with a rather unpleasent problem on our hands.
2) Many sites already address things that may mitigate one of the few things we can control - CO2 emissions.
3) I’m more interested in communities taking local actions to plan for problems on the long-range horizon.
Given that, I couldn’t resist this mitigation technique from tearfund.org:
Only boil the water that you need for your cup of tea. If everyone boiled just the water they needed, the energy saved could power over three-quarters of the UK’s streetlights.
