Fortunately most people are doing more and more to reduce their power consumption. This is IMO mostly for their own benefit.. to reduce their bills. But it's also a step to reduce producing greenhouse gases.
The bad news is that far too many places on the globe are burnng coal to make electricity, and coal puts out some nasty stuff. (And there is no such thing as "clean coal")
More and more people on the planet want automobiles and it will a long time before most cars run on anything but carbon fuels.
We love our green lawns and lush golf courses, wash our cars very often whether they need it or not, flush too often, fail to repari water leaks, and put too much water in our whiskey. Very few of us save rain water.
But, we will make some gains like the one you pointed to above. Too little, too late, our grandchildren will, without a doubt, live in a warmer, dryer, more hostle world where people fight for fresh potable water and energy sources.
But...If we would throw money at it like NASA did reaching the moon, we might have a chance to create ways to make the new climate livable. Think we will? Think again. There are too many "Trump people" who will prevent it.
Wish your grandchildren well.

What's that got to do with anything? Do you have a coal fired well pump? Why would any of us save rain water?
That's one good thing about our Valley , there is no water shortage.
Yep. We here in the Valley of The Rogue have lots of water. We are so lucky. And south of us they are digging ever deeper trying to find even a bit more water. So water is going to become even more precious as things get hotter and dryer. You can bet that California will make us an "offer we can't refuse" and build a huge pipe to take some of our water south.
Oh sorry! Forgot. You just wanted to argue a bit.
(And if I was being a "Nanny" in posting my opinion, please forgive me. Just habit, ya know)
You just wanted to argue a bit. No I actually wondered what watering lawns or washing cars had to do with Global warming and I didn't know if YOU knew there is no water shortage here whatsoever.
And when you can't help yourself and once again start talking about how we must behave and so forth I will still laugh at you
