WarNing, or WarMing?
That is the question. Is "it" real? I'm astonished by those who think it's okay to keep pumping bazillions of tons of carbon and other pollutants into the atmosphere, seas, and rivers, knowing that once it's in there, it stays almost for ever. How feeble of the morons in the US car industry bleating about making cars more economical on fuel. Why, the rest of the world are just liars then when they drive their (smaller admittedly) cars that get 40 or more miles to the gallon, er, oops, sorry, those cars are made by GM, Ford etc, and it's a puzzle that in Europe the air and fuel is obviously different, causing them to get better mileage, and they won't work in the USA. Einstein would be proud of them. What plonkers. Whether you believe it's just a climate blip, or pollution, it's common sense to keep the planet in good condition to leave a better place for our children, rather than a chemical soup, scorched, and parched. About time the US car industry got off it's fat arse and caught up with the foreign car makers, and made economical smaller engined cars, hybrid, or even diesel (the modern ones are much more clean burning). It's time someone locked sensible people in a room with the car industry leaders and gave the sensibles baseball bats and give them free reign to knock some sense into the dunderheads. I'd start with the Chrysler guy that, a few months ago, said Europeans were too concerned about pollution. Sadly, he probably just said, accidentally, what many US companies believe. Who gives a crap about the rest of the world? It's common knowledge here that pollution doesn't affect the USA. They can always invent something to counteract it. Global warming? Turn the air conditioner higher. Gasoline shortage? Just invade somewhere and get some. Too little electricity generation? Build more coal burning stations. Cut down emissions? No way, that would cost jobs. We're the biggest kid on the block aren't we? we can go it alone can't we? Can't we?
