Why Americans are Skeptical of Their Role in Global Warming, page 3

I would agree completely if china and India don’t tow the line from the start then there really is no point. It gives people the opt out clause from having to be more energy efficient. As with the Christian Aid report exposing UK company’s that do not have to declare over seas co2 emissions. Do the scientists know about this? Which figures have they been doing their math with? No wonder they can’t seem to agree.

Why should any of us be bothered, people will be more likely to just submit, pay the coming green taxes and carry on polluting the same way they have been.

Here’s another angle on the car side of things to think about.

G-Wiz you want no? Makes sense, easy to charge gets to the shops and back, no congestion charge to pay, but hold on, oh I see, doesn’t exactly do much for the CREDIBILITY does it, not exactly your 4x4 BMW. That’s the problem and the only problem. Who ever designed that model, not the engine or the way it runs, just the way it looks, should be put behind bars. People just will not buy something like that. Now this is more like it, electric Lexus, but where is the advertising? Oh, read the article it might have something to do with....

C) And try, if you will, typing the keywords:
"electric Lexus" + "Minority Report"
...in the world's No. 1 Search Engine ie.Google and - surprise surprise - ZERO results are returned. The silence speaks volumes...

Yes indeed - it's yet again all-too apparent, folks, that the world's media still can't bring itself to use that most hated and heretical of words: "electric"....

- nor can our automotive powers-that-be yet stomach the idea of the public at large getting too turned on by the sight of sexy supercars powered by effete and effeminate (..right?) electric motors instead of thrusting, throbbing pistons, cranks and gaskets....

Sickening, is it not.

Now imagine this: its 18hrs, most people are starting to get in from work, put the news on, kids are running around screaming, the smell of dinner in the air, and suddenly the best commercial in the world comes on. You know the kind of commercial im on about its cool, intelligent, it has smart beautiful people in it doing a smart and clever thing. Their driving a new electric/hydrogen state of the art car, small and compact and aimed at those smart, intelligent, need something to go A to B kind of sheeple people.

Next day EVERYONES talking about that great commercial and those great new styles and how good it is to be green.

Instead as mentioned earlier we are bombarded with over priced chunks of oil guzzling metal alloys. That even if they run more efficiently then before they still don’t come close to the kind of non-polluting transport we need. On top of that even though these new cars do run more efficiently its only if you keep them regularly maintained, at cost, otherwise the efficiency goes out the window. Plus they go at speeds we just do not need or use. Cars should all be governed imo to about 70 mph. there’s just no need for speed for the average Joe in his car. Less speed also means less pollution and more importantly more lives saved.
