Some of the low - hanging targets for reductions of greenhouse gas emissions have been highlighted in recent months in a «By Degrees» series in The Times, which explores topics like the electrical demand of our new electronic gadgets, efforts to curb methane leaks and the move to install light - colored roofs in warmer climates.

a) they don't believe the premise of man - made climate change: they don't think scientific data collected to date is adequate to prove conclusively that any type of man - made event can result in either the recent fluxuations in climate or the anticipated kinds of drastic climate change, therefore CO2 control would be ineffective at solving the problem b) they don't believe CO2 alone is responsible: they think other variables are as or more likely to be the catalysts or causes for the scientific data collected to date on climate change therefore CO2 control would be ineffective at solving the problem c) they believe government efforts to curb CO2 emissions will fail resulting in an unprecedented waste of money and worse economic conditions.
