Swift is correct. You can not trade one point of energy use for another that still envolves conventional methodolgies. A new source of non polluting energy needs to be developed. Also, whatever happens in North America is going to be offset by the Asian economies.
The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) had a kilometer of ice on my farm and it has been warming up ever since then, except for the Little Ice Age in the late 1700's.
