I'm not asking for precise answers either. Just tell us, ballpark... how much do you think we can we cool our planet down, if l we take half the cars/drivers of the roads?
How about an easy one: DO we need to cool the planet?

How do you "cool" a planet? We should examine the legitimacy of your question.
My point is conservation. My point is, as I said, mitigating current ongoing damage to the planet's resources.
The damage/evolution we live with now cannot be reversed. We are beyond "cooling" and whatever that means. As far as saving what is left, there are ways. They don't necessarily involve taking cars off the road, either.
