From the topics, I see most are taking on this list is that we are
introducing additional energy into our ecosystem.  Some from emissions into
the air, some from the heat and energy released by using Earth's stored
energy.
If we ever do get a understanding of the effects this is making, how about a
pro-active approach.
Lets say putting reflective surface on land.  This would radiate the heat
that would have gone into the earth back into space.  On the other hand,
does a solar cell stay cool?  What is the cooling effect of plants?  How
efficient is a leaf for converting the suns energy into hydrocarbons?.
Would a piece of green plastic produce the same heating effect from the suns
energy?

Best regards,
Giles
