Nothing as long as the methods chosen to reduce them don't cost anything in
terms of current and future prosperity and the accumulation of wealth by the
nations of the world.  Because the connection between man made global warming
and reality isn't strong enough to justify anything else.  This is a future
problem at best that is best solved with future technology not current
technology.  The only applicable current technology is build more nuke plants
all over the world.

Begs the real question which is:  Does the amount of man made co2 have even the
slightest thing to do with co2 levels in the atmosphere as a whole and with any
perceived global warming.  So far the answers seem to be NO to both questions. 
A recent study found that co2 levels in the atmosphere vary widely over time
and that 300 million years ago the co2 levels were 200 times or more the level
currently.  Not a lot of SUV's 300 million years ago.  This research seems to
suggest that ice ages and co2 levels come and go based upon factors we do not
understand and totally UNRELATED to man made activites.
