The point is moot anyway. There is a built-in delay of 50-70 years in most of the climate models. If a miracle happened and we stopped burning all FF's today, temperatures would still increase for at least that long, nobody alive today who's old enough to understand the controversy would ever see a difference. I happen to believe that the bulk of warming is natural, and the contributions of mankind insignificant, but the point is still a moot one, the temperatures are going to increase at least 1200-12,000 years, according to Milanković.
Tanada's correct, there is no controlling authority, and it would seem that both China and India are not committed to reducing either FF usage or population growth, so what anybody in the Western World does, absent a wall around their country, is also moot.
Climate changes are off topic in this thread, unless your intent was to make the point that CC is the mechanism of population control. Which I do not believe for one moment, it is the collective decision of virtually all 7.5B - AGW believers or not - that the stopping FF consumption is not for them, but for everyone else.
The litmus test for this is simple. True believers in AGW don't own vehicles with fuel tanks, don't consume grid electricity, and don't consume foods transported with petroleum fuels. So you can easily sort true believers from hypocrites in an instant.
