It’s sleeting in Northern Indiana right now, SNOWING in CHICAGO...
Are these people Global Cooling Deniers?
Paying by the mile means no difference in price irrespective of the fuel economy of your vehicle. So it doesn’t accomplish what its stated purpose is.
Yesterday here in Colorado we broke the record low, set in 1905, by 5 whole degrees - 17 instead of 22. It doesn’t usually snow this early in Colorado, and when it does, it’s usually wet fall snows and not January-like ice-fog-snows, either. But, yesterday that’s exactly what it was.
I think that duffus should be charged for every breath he takes!
Say, I wonder if “they” (whoever “they” are) will be good enough to tell us exactly when we have accomplished the goal of “saving the planet” (whatever the hell that might mean). So we can stop “paying for it”.
Ya think they will? Or ya think we’ll just keep “paying for it” indefinitely? Kind of like paying for a toll road that’s way beyond paid off, and the dough will just go into the Global Save-The-Planet Corruption Slush fund?
(am I being too cynical here?)
Amazing how enriching government can solve global warming. In fact, giving your money to them can solve just about anything while it gives the politicians plenty of money to get rich and re-elected while they tell you what a great job they’re doing saving the planet.
Is that rain or p#ss falling off our backs?
Have we finished paying for slavery? Didn’t think so.
Lets wipe them out in the name of the Environment!
And don't forget dihydrogen monoxide...the most evil of the green house gases accounting for 20 times as much green house effect than all other green house gasses combined! Not to mention those evil CO2 spewing whales just wallow in this deadly pollutant!
Ban both these green house gases now! And ban oxygen to boot, because it contributes to evil "O"s per molecule to both the evil CO2 and H2O greenhouse grasses. Lets teach all the stupid life on the planet Earth a lesson in extinction! Its the only way to be "green"! BAN! BAN! BAN!
Progressives don't need a real problem...heck if they can sell CO2 as a pollutant, they can find an excuse to take money from whoever they want.
What a CAPITAL IDEA! And, when the idiots who dreamed it up are dangling from a tree, 30 seconds after the first tax bill arrives, a whole bunch of British Subjects will suddenly be free...
I almost fell off my chair!
Every time I drive by a volcano or a body of water, I thrown in all the change in my pockets. Gotta keep Algore’s Gaia gods happy don’t you know.
Japan has been doing something similar for 30-40 years now . $$$ tolls top ride any road which is speedy and or/ most convenient .
A 600 mile ride to Tokyo from Fukuoka will cost you around $ 250 . That’s $ 1 for every 2.4 miles .
The polar ice box blast that hit us recently (major record nighttime lows in northern Idaho where I live) was a consequence of the jet stream pattern, and not at all reflective of overall long-term trends in average global atmospheric temperature. Usually a jet stream directed cold air mass that comes across the U.S.-Canada border stays east of the Rockies, but when it is big and strong enough to do so, as in the present instance, some of it comes across to the west. Last night in Moscow-Pullman area the low was 10 deg. F., about 10 degrees lower than previous record, and we have new record lows four days in a row. Anthropogenic global warming is a pile of crap, but this weather event is not evidence of a global temperature trend, one way or another.
How to collapse your economy in 10 days. Idiots.
No, but the sunspots (or rather, the lack of them) might have something to do with it.
