automakers peddled gas guzzlers while fighting every attempt to raise overall mileage standards.

Automakers sold cars that people wanted to buy. With gas prices what they are in California, I'll bet they will soon be wanting cars that get better mileage...because driving a gas-guzzler comes with an automatic penalty in the way of costs-per-mile being high.

Where are the other 95% of all manufactured autos not on this list?

That being asked, I don’t mind if Kalifornia runs all production and consumption out of the state forever.

Provide, please, the scientific rationale that supports the belief that carbon dioxide does “trap” heat in the atmosphere.

Or is this something like the “phlogiston” theory that was so popular before the discovery of oxygen?

Because apparently some people have no clear idea of where oxygen comes from.

The primordial atmosphere of earth had NO oxygen, though there was an ample supply of methane, ammonia, carbon dioxide and water vapor, plus smaller amounts of sulfur dioxide, and the ‘noble gases’ like krypton, neon, xenon and argon. There was also some helium, but most of that escaped to outer space. Radon goes through continual breakdown by radioactive decay.

Would it be too much to ask these nitwits to repeal their global warming mandate and concentrate on something serious, such as mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants?

Here's some news for the newspaper editorial staff...

The pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy

Paper manufacturing process is one of the most environmentally Un-friendly industries there is

I'm thinking the newspaper industry, earth defilers and energy wasters that they are would be a little more sensitive to the needs of the little people.

“Even though transportation contributes 41 percent of greenhouse gases, ...The less gasoline per mile that a car uses, the less heat-trapping carbon dioxide it spews into the atmosphere.””

The writer is an idiot.

And what about the sun? Since the sun controls the climates of all the planets in our solar system, isn’t something going to be done about the sun? No sun tax? No matter how many hours a day it warms our planet? This is preposterous!!!

Translation: California liberals want to take away your SUV and pickup truck from you. They aren't being very transparent in how they want to fight "global warming."

That settles it. I’m keeping my gas-guzzling 403 cu. in. V8
Pontiac until Al Gore personally tries to take it away from
me (heehee - I’ll push his head even further up his a$$).

We also can go for carbon offsets similar to Al Gore with his monthly $33,000 energy bill for his house.
Such carbon offsets can start with one of the most wasteful items that cause felling of millions of trees per year worldwide, the erosion of land, depriving wild animals of their habitats.
Newspapers, yes newspapers, which draw in all those wood imports from as far away as China and Brazil for their raw material: paper.
It’s the best kept secret, but monumentally contributory to global warming.
Need a carbon offset: Cancel your paper subscription and go on the net for information.

If California wants to achieve its goal of cutting greenhouse-gas emissions 25 percent by 2020 to fight global warming,

California can do it much more easily than that. Just keep jacking up the taxes until the population drops by 25% to 50%.

Just noting that Transportation only accounts for 14% of GHG emissions (not 41% as quoted in the article).

Furthermore, passenger vehicles are only a small percentage of the Transportation sector’s emissions.

So don’t worry about your car. The solution to the (phony?) problem of global warming is not personal transportation. That is a red herring.
