Barry's Response - This is a well-known image, Gunjar, but quite relevant. It shows the center of the global warming reduction theme being a system of Carbon Taxes, which may or may not achieve their purpose. Close to that idea is substituting income taxes with green and polluter taxes, making sure that everyone is required to adhere to the system, including those individuals and industries who may feel privileged because their operations existed before the new legislation at hand (that's what grandfathering means).

Other tactics, placed on the periphery of the diagram, include:

• keeping the energy distribution system up to date,
• keeping excises and subsidies fair and pro-environmentally oriented,
• giving preferential treatment, financially speaking, to those who purchase fuel efficient household items including cars,
• providing incentives for homeowners to make their palaces as efficient as practicable,
• further increase the availability and use of alternative sources of energy and discouraging energy providers from profiting proportionally to GHG emissions.
