And you should be damn grateful instead of whining. Kids in Africa are not able to suck in that much carbon. Guess nobody handed them the report on "zero emissions" vehicles and the amount of crap required to produce them? Just when you thought they couldn't be any stoopider. Guess murklee's mom was pro-life?

Cars, guns, air travel, shopping bags, straws, soft drinks, books, social media postings - it might actually be easier to make a list of things the Dems don't want to ban. Just who I want in charge of a government, people who insist that everything not mandatory is forbidden. They're all for freedom, sure, but not ours.

".... 'When I take a lungful of air in this moment, it has 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born,' Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, the bill’s main sponsor told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. 'That is a change that has never happened in a single generation of humankind on this planet.' ...."

How would this guy know these "facts" he spews? The answer is, he doesn't. He's making it up to make it sound like carbon is a bad thing.

Why do you think Oregon is so green, congresscritter from Oregon? Because it's covered with carbon-devouring trees and plants, that's why.

And I suppose he has data that goes back to the beginning of mankind in order to make his second claim. Let's see the data congressman. Don't have it? That's because it doesn't exist.

Just a couple of examples of why the general public has not embraced the climate change movement of the Left. Because they don't tell the truth and make claims that are so outrageous, that most American see through their scam.

And my last point, how do these mental midgets think that these fossil fueless cars will be manufactured? With massive amounts of fossil fuels, that's how.

When the Left's unicorn farts start providing energy to fuel our economy, then I'll listen. Until then, bugger off.

2040? Isn’t that too late? AOC says the planet will like, uh.. explode and like not be there and stuff in 12 years.

[IronJack]

Well, Jeff, then I suggest you just stop breathing.

California comes to a Halt 01Jan40

[beethovenfan]

Yeah right, like that’s going to happen......NOT!!

[DPMD]

“When I take a lungful of air in this moment, it has 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born...”

The simplest solution, the one with immediate effect, would be for this idiot to stop breathing. Win for everyone.

Imagine the New York Thruway (or wherever) in a blizzard and there’s a pile up. And everyone’s electric car loses its power while the vehicles are stuck.

[Rurudyne]

We need Cash for Clunkers for progressives. There’s more than a few folks on the Left who need all their proverbial oil removed from them and the run till they self destruct.

[ealgeone]

If they’re this committed to the “cause” they should start walking right now. Ditch their cars.

[Political Junkie Too]

They will take their cue from the wacky gun-control activists... keep the cars but ban the sale of gasoline.

I say we reduce the number of gasoline powered cars down to the number adequate to supply those of us who don’t give a damn about those who want to phase them out altogether.
That’s an achievable goal - half.

And besides, we’re all supposed to be zipping around in vehicles equipped with Mr. Fusion anyway, as I recall.

[Disambiguator]

"Red Barchetta" was prescient.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Well, I guess you can put Michigan in the Trump column...

[katana]

I don’t expect to be here in 2040, age 87, or driving much if I am. But I really hope these self-obsessed morons keep this drumbeat going. They’ve led the Leftist equivalent of a monastery and cloistered life, thinking that the beliefs and opinions of their immediate peers represent some sort of Marxist consensus. Surprise! The rest of us are watching, informed, armed, and waiting for the first move toward an imposed Socialism. This isn’t Venezuela and we’re citizens, not subjects.

There is no such thing as a zero-emission vehicle. Something is bound to be emitted somewhere in order to make the vehicle, or to make it go.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Those Democrats! So smart about everything and in control of the entire Universe! *SMIRK*

Another way to look at it is that the amount of CO2 in the air went up one one-hundreths (0.01) of one percent.

“”When I take a lungful of air in this moment, it has 30 percent more carbon in it than when I was born,” Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley,””

Which means he’s been breathing our air for too long! Let’s put Soylent Green into practice! Anyone who doesn’t like our air has a choice they can make - SHUT UP or just go somewhere else and die. How did he measure the 30%? Is he sure it’s not 10% or 25% or 28.9% or even 50%?
