Climate change warning labels on gas pumps?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 9, 2014 | David R. Baker

Buy a pack of cigarettes, and a printed warning from the surgeon general will remind you that smoking causes cancer.

Obviously, you’ve chosen to smoke anyway. But perhaps one day you’ll look at that message, printed on the pack, and resolve to change your ways.

Now, apply that idea to global warming.

A group of Bay Area environmentalists wants to slap warning stickers on gasoline pumps, telling drivers that the fuel they’re buying is cooking the planet. The stickers would constantly remind consumers of the link between driving and climate change.

Waste of ink. I'll quit smoking when my ashes reach room temperature.

A kindly freeper once sent me some of these made on sticky note paper for such an occasion. I used most of them, but now the ES would need to be updated to who the current communist is.

Nationwide, juice from coal is 37% and dropping fast.
Caliph Baraq has decreed King Coal must die.

In California, juice form coal is a very small amount now:

I like my bumper sticker as much. It says:

Environmentalists make good compost!

LOL, the state of California has determined that gasoline is bad? Well, that convinces me!

Okay, not really. But that sticker is funny because it's not supposed to be - environuts are not known for their sense of humor at all.

coal nor oil do not cause any global warming

factories have been emitting co2(coal and oil etc) for 200 years. there's been no warming, no climate change , no sea level rise etc. if their stupid AGW theory were true then sea levels would have risen 60 feet due to melting ice caps in those 200 years. there's been no corresponding warming for those 200 years of co2 emissions.

coal nor oil do not do anything to the environment .that's WHY they invented the global warming hoax because they didn't have anything else against coal nor oil nor capitalism

Let them do it as long as they pay for it. Then we can place hoaxer stickers on top of them.

I have a SVT Raptor and a F-350.

And now, I shall run these people and whatever they use for transportation over with one or the other or both.
