What have you given up? Specifically? How have you lessened your lifestyle to save the planet?
I live the life of Saul of Tarsus. Thanks for asking!

You can groan me all you want but I'm dead fucking serious. You're a smart person. You should not have difficultly understanding how the United States eliminating carbon emissions would lead to less CO2 in the atompshere than if the United States did not elimitated carbon emissions, regardless of what other countries do.
So you are saying that you have studied this for two decades, but that you haven't bothered looking at global temps for the past 16 years? You might want to check up on the definition of 'studying'.

Anyone?
I was really hoping for a good ol' fashioned, rational answer.

Stop holding your breath.
That would have required a rational question.
Tom posted that even if we stop ALL emissions, China's growth will offset that in 4 years.
Tekky posted that even if the entire world stopped emissions, global warming would continue for "many centuries."
So, why do you think anything we do will affect global warming at all?
2 degrees, 4 degrees, 6 degress. All the same. Who gives a shit? Let's party!
Neither Tom, nor Tekky, nor me or you have god like powers, though you believe you do.
Weak.
If the atmosphere doesn't appreciably change with our efforts, how many degrees do you think we can change? Please be specific.
No, I'm with you on this Lorax (LOL), let's party man. Nothing we can do about it no how.
