Based on what little I recall from my readings, I believe the general
scientific opinion is that the human race has it in its power to

possibly have any significant effect, I'd say what's the use. But,
I've been conviced, rightly or wrongly, that it can make a
difference. For me, that's as firm an estimate as I need.

But that's the problem, you turning off a light and reducing your
thermostat is not enough. If the problem is as large as it's
being made out to be you'll need drastic changes.

If it were enough, the leading spokesman wouldn't be using
20,000kWh a month of electricity now would he? BTW, I was
curious what an "average" family uses per month. Not that
I'm average, but my family of four in a modest house uses
~600kWh per month.
