This is where Global Warming is headed

[Sheep]

That sounds a little strange coming from a guy who's favorite thing to do is mod his Civic.

How so? The car goes 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. It's faster around a track then a Carerra GT, and it's 50 grand.

To the above posters...

If you're truck is being used for a construction style job, you'd get different insurance(work insurance). The taxing would come through insurance and go to the government for road care and environmental projects. I see polished, shiny, huge trucks everywhere. They have seen less dirt them my civic!

The biggest problem is no one realizes that a small car and still be a lot of fun, and get you through your day.

Bovine flatulence is carbon neutral

In fact, cows in general are carbon neutral. All of their carbon emissions come from the carbon in the plant matter they eat

But they sure emit a lot of methane that is more harmful than CO2.

More leftist government control over everything, anyone??

No, of course not. We'll just re-elect bush right away after the constitution is changed.
By the way, how dare he allow switching horses in the middle of the game?

At todays exchange rate 20 Euros = 27.74 dollars evrytime you light up your BBQ! OUCH! That's a lot of BUBBA BURGERS!

That is for a grilling season, not each use Not sure how long that season is, 6 mo? 3?

Fear and hysteria of necessary change (some form of conservation) and the unknown. Hmmmph.

Wow, check the link below, it shows 0 to 60 times of the worlds fastest cars.
Your car is faster than almost all of them??

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
8 years of living with that idiot at the helm was about 8 years too many!

BS

Show me a photo of your time slip and maybe I'll buy that. That's faster than an R6 or CBR-600.

Here is what I consider the definitive scientific response to man-made global warming: http://www.greatglobalwarmingswindle.com/index.html

I have watched The Great Global Warming Swindle. Th most interesting feature is that the scientists interviewed in the video debunking the UN IPCC report ARE the same scientists listed as the authors of the IPCC report. They felt that their science and reputations had been arrogated for political purposes and they wanted this film to show that science cannot make the case for man-made global warming.

To repeat, the scientists listed as authors of the UN report believe that the report is a political document that ignores the science and is basically a lie.

 

[Joe Schmoe]

It is a fact that global warming is occuring. It is also a fact that carbon emissions are accelerating the process. These are the issues that must be dealt with. The question of whether or not humans are ultimately at fault is academic, and irrelevant to the question of what needs to be done now.

 

[stratman]

The problem with ethanol fuels is that they are not compatable with 95% of today's cars. Any FlexFuel vehicle is OK, but not others. For one, the alcohol attracts moisture, which rusts the fuel lines, etc. The problem is compounded with carbureted cars...like my old classics. With fi cars that have sealed fuel systems, you have less problems with rust but get into requiring different injectors sizes, PCM calibrations, and material composition of the tanks, lines and pumps (where the alcohol eats away at the rubber lines, O-rings, etc).
Alcohol or Ethanol have a much lower stoichiotometry, which is one reason cars runing on E85 get less mpg than on gas. This is why the PCM would have to have a different setup than factory gas setups.

I'm all for alternative fuels, but give me something I can run in the cars I have now.

You're correct sir, but at least there is a viable option for newer cars, GM is all hyped up about Flex-fuel, if all the other manufacturers start producing Flex-fuel vehicles it will start a slow change.

The scientist authors of that paper are proposing that the conditions for any warming of the earth today were set in motion 800 years ago and human activity of any magnitude is unlikely to influence the result.

But hey, let's destroy our economies anyway.

I think you are right. I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Darn Neanderthal.

Bush is doing an excellent job of destroying the US economy, without regard to global warming.

An Ariel Atom was mentioned by Sheep.
He wasn't clear if he was speaking of his Civic, Or the Ariel Atom.
My question wasn't concise either.
I'll rephrase it.
Do you own 'That' car, the one that goes 0 to 60 in 2.9 sec.?
Or was he speaking 'Of a car' that goes 0 to 60?

That's a pretty blanket statement CP, most (not all) people in the US depend on their cars for their livelihood, specially in cities where mass transportation is lacking. I couldn't perform my job depending on mass transportation, as I don't go from from point A to point B, my job puts me everywhere in between. I drive an average of 20 to 25,000 miles per year in the course of earning a living.

On behalf of the bovine's defense, I believe he's speaking of the Atom and it's motorcycle-like performance.
