don't get me wrong, I'd love 800hp, I just don't think I'd be able to utilize more than about 177 on my commute. I consider myself a conservative on many levels, and I believe in the conservation aspect of the word. I hate being wasteful.
I have come to rely upon my Mitsubishi Mr. Slim. LOL. It's very reliable and according to my digital thermometer it's always with in a + or - a few degrees.
Science is a wonderful thing when it's right or good science. I believe in climate change. I believe in what I experience. I experienced science claiming that another ice age was coming. (the 70's and early 80's) I experienced a fraud and his followers misrepresenting facts. (Al Gore). He misrepresented a good many things.
People are doubters because of the crappy messengers that taint the message.
Now how extreme the climate change will be is anyone's guess. As I said earlier, they struggle guessing the weather an hour in advance, forget a day or week in advance. At Any rate I'll likely be dead by then. Until that day, Ill drive my Honda City that gets 16 kilometer per liter.
no, science did not predict a coming ice age in the 70s. That was the media....The vast majority of climate papers in the 1970s predicted warming.
PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) - "Soaring temperatures broke records in Germany, France, Britain and the Netherlands on Thursday as a heatwave gripped Europe for the second time in a month, in what scientists said were becoming more frequent events as the planet heats up.
“There is a 40-50% chance that this will be the warmest July on record. This heatwave is exactly in line with climate change predictions,” said Dr Karsten Haustein at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford.
Peter Inness, senior research fellow at the University of Reading, said: “The fact that so many recent years have had very high summer temperatures both globally and across Europe is very much in line with what we expect from man-made global warming.”

108 F in Paris. Absolutely unheard of. Manmade climate change is no longer an abstract concept, it is here, it is now, and it's causing tremendous property damage, lost crops and deaths worldwide with increasing frequency.
Dang! Charles Dickens is going to be pissed. First we see that London only get an inch of snow annually and now it's this freaking hot. This is nothing like his novels. Was he lying? How are his readers to imagine all those fancy London attire?
No not really, just better CAFE standards and more restrictions on coal fired plants.
I know that would be a brutal change,
Coal is what's being targeted. I just heard Texas wind energy just passed coal. As for regulations of cars, it is common sense to keep the air as clean as possible, but a few cruises and cargo ships pollute more than millions of cars.
Back to coal. By far China is the biggest consumer and that is why it is being targeted.
The top oil producers are the USA, Saudi Arabia and Russia. The top gas producers are the USA followed by Russia. These two (oil and gas) will continue to pollute at a higher rate. It is all about economic advantages, and using politics to help the cause, nothing to do with the environment. One of the means is control of energy.
As for those people who think it's only a liberal policy, they are in for a surprise when rich conservatives jump in the bandwagon. I wonder what propaganda is going to be fed to them as it is clear to them that 'saving the earth' is nothing but lies.
