Instead of the paddles controlling up and down shifts, however, they let drivers manually adjust the amount of regenerative braking, and thus the kinetic energy that's captured from slowing and returned to the battery to propel the car.

Yes, Volt helps to recharge its own battery through regenerative braking, which captures otherwise lost kinetic energy and transfers it back to the battery.

Kinetic energy is captured in the form of regenerative braking, sending power back into the battery while slowing down.

What I'm thinking is that the primary way that the energy captured by CO2 gets dissipated is not radiation, partly back to the surface, but primarily upwards convention as the kinetic transfer between gas molecules moves the heat rapidly throughout the atmosphere.

Motion means kinetic energy, which can be captured, just like the energy in moving water can be captured by the turbine in a hydroelectric dam.

Re David @ 20, seeing as the direct thermal contribution of global annual fossil fuel combustion has repeatedly been shown here to be miniscule compared to the increase in greenhouse forcing, (most recently here: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/10/an-open-letter-to-steve-levitt/) is there any reason to think that capturing a small portion of total wind and wave kinetic energy would a more significant effect?
