CO2 curbing dilemma

CO2 emissions - carbon footprint:

Does humanity (or specific countries or regions) need manufacturing more or less than they need travel of people and transportation in general?

Food for thought

Systemics: self-sufficiency in 2009 (for countries)

Inspired by the GM issue, as well as other policy dilemmas and choices in the US, Germany, France, UK, the EU, OECD, WTO, etc:

What products and services does a country/economy in 2009 need self sufficiency in?

Do we need to rethink the relevant dogmae?

Is eg the appropriate level for EU member countries to achieve self-suffiency the EU one?
