Should we try to cut emissions of "bad" gases? Sure, why not, but not at the detriment of the basis of our society, that is, the working class. Maybe anyone in an environmentalist organization should be given a severe tax increase to support a changeover to something else, or to be used to buy those dandy carbon credits. Call is the "practice what you preach" tax. No more or less stupid than the "how many congressmen does it take to change a lightbulb" thing, or however that little gem of bovine waste product was worded.
I agree more people should focus on this issue. When so many climate scientists now agree with recent* data that smog, etc. etc. etc are indeed causing appreciable damage then who should care that the Sun is having a bad cycle? I mean, we can't change the Sun, but the effects caused by modern society are real and undeniable. We should try to improve.
It seems the major debate in this thread is what's the major cause of global warming-- humanity or the Sun. Really, who cares if humanity is 51% of the cause and the Sun is 49%, LOL. So what? We shouldn't care. Fact still remains that humanity is a big cause, period. Therefore I would agree with Kyle's post. Lets focus on how we can improve things. Lets try to encourage more minds focusing on this issue.
