A Little Soot.
Scientists have recently determined that good old soot, otherwise known as black carbon, is the second-leading cause of global warming (there was a great article in the New York Times last week that explains the science). My colleagues and I just finished a short cartoon explaining the issue for the good folks at Earthjustice, and I thought you Mefites might like it.

According to that article, 3rd world countries are responsible for 18% of global warming, because they cook their food. Good luck with solving that one.
