There is only one way to stall Global Warming during the 20+ years it will take to shift to renewable energy: use the plants, grasses and trees growing in the 5 billion hectares of farmland soil to extract CO2 from the air by photosynthesis.

"Soil is one secret solution to global warming"
Research from the Rodale Institute shows that ‘sustainably-farmed soil absorbs 30% more carbon than conventionally farmed soils. “Switching our farmland to organic would cut greenhouse emissions by 10% in the US (20% in Canada and most of the rest of the world),” says a blurb pointing to a web video at www.quantumshift.tv/v/1181028043/ The website carries an online petition calling on world leaders to switch subsidies from conventional to sustainable farming practices. (Thanks to Peter Holter of Holistic Management International for the item.)
I am focused on my blog of maximizing the role of agriculture in carbon sequestration.
