#5 11) Eat organic (the pesticides used on crops releases carbon contained in soil into the atmosphere)

Of course, eating organic means using more cropland, which uses more water, which uses more 'organic' fertilizer (ie stinky poop) which increases the risk of picking up E. Coli or Listeria around 8 times greater than regular food production. Since they do not use weed control chemicals, the farmer must rely on mechanical weeding, which means he's running his tractor far more, burning more disel fuel and putting out more pollution.

Remember, arsenic is 'organic' too.

#9 We need to seal the volcanoes so they stop erupting and spewing their global warming causing crap into the air. I think a study on what would happen if we nuked a volcano might be in order. Sure it'll be messy short term but we're in this for the big picture and besides, we could probably sell the blasts on pay-per-view and help pay for some of the nuclear cleanup.

#10 Yankee approach: use up, wear out, when gone, do without.

#11 Actually all of the first 7 are good practical ways to slow your electrical use.

And the Compact Fluorescents are a very good idea - if we could change EVERY incandescent bulb in the US to a CF, we coudl cut our annual electrical power consumption by a lot.
