The only fuel use that would matter is that fuel that is burned above 30,000 ft. I believe that if it was just reduced( not stopped) it would give the CO2 a chance to settle down out of the upper atmosphere. There is no worry about CO2 at the earths surface. It is taken up instantly by plant life. Since 85% of the earths surface is covered by water, most of the CO2 is used by the plant life in the water, algae, plankton, etc. It is not possible to raise the level of CO2 on the surface of the earth because of all the plants (land and water).An'inconvenient truth' is that CO2 is heavier than air!! Quite nicely ignored by the 'distinguished' Gore. Actually, if he is willing to tell half-truths such as that, then his quotes on CO2 measurements are suspect, also. Sorry to ramble so much.

We can't just stop Greenhouse gases because they are essential to the make up of the atmosphere, i.e. they keep the planet warm. It's oversaturation that people are worried about with fossil fuels. Most scientists agree that there isn't enough study done to say fossil fuels are making a huge impact. The way we should do it is decrease emissions as much as possible and not go cold turkey unless we have to because really that would grind the world to a hault. Also just support cleaner burning alternatives would be the best way to go.

Sure. We can harvest the carbon. There are plenty of ideas about this. The easiest way is to plant trees although it's not to quick.
