Global warming is an uncontested fact, debate is over, and now all we need to do is get rid of all cars on the road.
This, along with Cheryl Crow's nose-wiping removable sleeve and single square wiping, and we can all live in bliss forever.
These people are so supid it hurts!

My husband has been saying for some time that Al Gore wants us all riding bicycles, like the folks in undeveloped countries.

Although global warming is real,
anthropgenic global warming is most probably false:

I’ll start riding a bike to work when Mr. Gore does - regularly.
I’d like to see all those Hollywood stars, who adore Mr. Gore, ride bikes to their premieres. That would be quite a sight.

I love these “everybody should ride the train” idiots.
Let them take the kids to granma’s house on Sunday, on a train full of drunk yobs. Just once.
They’ll be first in line at the Toyota dealer on Monday.

Precisely why, when one of the best-known consultants and writers on the automobile industry seeks to " finish off the car," you have to sit up and take notice. MR GRAEME MAXTON, AUTO SPECIALIST, ECONOMIST, AND AUTHOR
Yeah right, I see him in Road & Track and Automobile all the time.

But then how would Ted Kennedy take us all for a ride? I doubt that any of us can fit on a bicycle with him...even if seats were added.

Limiting transportation options, particularly the most convenient and flexible ones, makes populations easier to control. That's what the left's antipathy for cars and "sprawl" is all about.

Ill start riding a bike to work when Mr. Gore does - regularly. . . . Id like to see all those Hollywood stars, who adore Mr. Gore, ride bikes to their premieres. That would be quite a sight. Agreed. I already ride my bicycle to work, and have done so for years. It's a 16-mile round trip. How many carbon offsets has all this bike riding earned me?
To: Logophile
Passenger cars are responsible for less than 5% of greenhouse gas emissions. You’d think an automobile expert would know that.
We don’t need to get rid of cars, we need to get rid of left-wing writers that don’t what they are talking about.

We should all drive busses. Big busses. And pick up every hitchhiker we see.

I read an article by AlGore last night that stated "A car puts one pound of Carbon into the air for every mile it's driven".
If that was the case, then a full tank of gas for an average sedan would weigh close to a quarter-ton. Guess that the laws of physics (matter can neither be created nor destroyed, etc etc) don't apply to global warming.
Lies are bad enough, but these are STUPID lies. And unfortunately, too many people went to gov't schools, and are too concerned with celebutards like Paris Hilton, to call the liars out.

"I have often wondered where all my knowledge leads me personally. I know about this industry, I write a great deal and I give a lot of talks. But now I can see a purpose. There are very few people with the knowledge of the industry, the ability to stand back and see the longer-term picture and the experience to communicate that knowledge globally."I'm just awesome!

Passenger cars are responsible for less than 5% of greenhouse gas emissions. Maybe the focus should be on tractor-trailers, moving them to robotic electric trains that operate at slow speeds. That would make a much bigger dent.
But leftists are not interested in solving problems. What they are really up to is taking objects they envy away from others. They cloak their evil intentions behind socially acceptable excuses and false fronts such as pollution and global warming. The really admire Cuba and communist USSR where nobody except a few government elites have anything that could generate feelings of envy.

Oh, I think I’ll be willing to give up my car in 30 years or so, because I’ll be in my mid 80’s. Younger folks may not be so eager, though.
