HOLY CARP!!!
Should we all just pretend these headlines don't exist?

How bout you guys who talk about "protecting your precious assets" with SUV selection?

This affects them more than you.

Maybe you don't care because you will be dead when they are suffering.
Maybe you are deluded.
Maybe prayer and Jesus will save them.

Yeah enjoy your SUV.
Yes, Jesus will save you.
Don't worry your pretty little head.

If global warming is natural emitting more CO2 makes this natural part of the cycle worse.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

AC start a poll.
Have you ever?

Aren't you curious what others think?

Maybe if it is interesting I'll vote in it.
If not I'll just ignore it.

OK, Kenny, I'll admit it. I'm a sinner. I drive an SUV.

What can I tell you, it wasn't my choice at the time. And it IS safer for the kids.

If you are not driving a big mondo Ford Expedition or the like, the gas mileage difference is not all that much. Nor are the emissions. The smaller and mid-size SUVs get around 20+ mpg.

By Kenny's standards, since he gets 67.somethingoranother MPG, people who drive Accords and regular Civics and the like are every bit the sinners that the mid size and small size SUV'sers are.

Hey Kenny, if you are so concerned, why don't you take the bus? Then you would not contribute to the carbon footprint at all. The bus will run whether you ride it or not.

Maybe. But you can buy non-hybrid cars that get 40 mpg. That is a big difference. The emissions are ranked LEV, ULEV, SULEV (I'm not sure what the categories are but there are differences).

I don't know how many mpg mid-size SUV's get or what their emissions ratings are (I guess because I don't care).
