Yes, your pet cause of CO2 reduction. I don't see you campaigning against real environmental problems like deforestation. Speaking of deforestation here is a sample of what your pet cause gets us:
How Europe?s climate policies led to more U.S. trees being cut down

Soaring demand for this woody fuel has led to the construction of more than two dozen pellet factories in the Southeast in the past decade, along with special port facilities in Virginia and Georgia where mountains of pellets are loaded onto Europe-bound freighters. European officials promote the trade as part of the fight against climate change. Burning ?biomass? from trees instead of coal, they say, means fewer greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

So because of simple minded people like yourself, who think that reducing CO2 is the be-all and end-all of sound environmental policy, the US and other more fragile areas are becoming increasingly deforested.
The crazy part of that is that deforestation will lead to more warming than increased CO2 will. Way to go.
