All these plans are literally a drop in the ocean. More needs to be done, more drastic action needs to be taken, and things need to happen a lot faster. The planet is at stake here, not in some indefinite future but now and we need to act drastically now or we'll all suffer, except those who die from it -- like 90% of all species, like millions of humans, like the biosphere of the planet. We need to drastically reduce CO2, methane and water vapor production. We need to treat cars the same as cigarettes, only more lethal to a greater number of people over time and with greater costs to society. We need to phase out gasoline use, coal use, and nuclear power. We need to ramp into place alternative energy sources that do not produce CO2 (hence, biofuels are just a different problem, not a solution). We need massive government funding for wind, solar, other alternative and reductive strategies. We need a huge recycling effort. We need to be on a footing similar to that during WW II, only the need is more pressing and the ultimate costs of losing this battle infinitely greater. And we need to do all this NOW.
