Of course nobody complains when we have 40+ 600?hp cars screaming at 150 mph around a 3 mile track for 300 laps.

Environmentalists always wanting something.
Hey... if we all went back to burning wood for light/heat and driving horse and buggies there would be a lot less polution!
Anyone else for a return to the 17th century?

you'll have to enlighten me on that take on the "rule of thumb"
we always used the "rule of thumb" in disaster cleanup... extend your arm out and raise your thumb... if your thumb dosen't cover the site of the wreck/spill/whatever... you are too close.

Germany has one of the worst smog problems in the world. if they want to put a speed limit on the autobon... I could give a rats ass because I will never drive on the autobon and will probably never be in Germany. So I fail to see how this effects me; other than the country as a whole joins the other earth concious countries in an effort to scrap the environment on this rock we all call home.
you all think global warming is ficticious? or you guy just dont care?

ummm....ok..... the next time you travel at 100 mph (or any speed significantly higher than usual), look at your mpg reading. less mpg=more burned fuel=more emissions. thats how it works buddy...unless your car has like 8 or 10 gears that keeps the rmp down at high speeds...

Actually the smog here isn't nearly as bad or visible as say California or a few other places in the states. I would say that's pretty good considering there are fewer people in the state of califfornia than the over 80million people in GE and the entire country of GE is smaller than the state of CA. Honestly do I care, no not really. I drive well within the speed limit most of the time and when it's not raining I ride my bike to work.

Does anyone know the biggest selling point of the automobile when it was first invented?
It was to help get rid of the pollution and smell of the horse crap all over town! Yup the automobile was pushed as a way to get rid of pollution when it was invented. Funny how now some people want to go back to horses to get rid of pollution isn't it?

Sometimes I wonder how much those so-called environmentalists would like to take a step back 100 years... no internet to bitch, no tv to reach the masses, actually have to kill your own food, take forever to cross the continent.
Personally, i'm not ready to give up this modern life, as often as it stresses me out.
Also, as far as life in general goes, I can give a flying **** about global warming. If it is warming, nice. That means less $$$ going into the fuel oil barrel and out the chimney. Econweenies bother the hell out of me and always have. I suppose I should explain why.
I live in the Adirondack Park in northern New York state. You've probably never heard of it, but it's a 120 year olf experiment in allowing people to live in a park. The Adirondack Park is larger than most of the national parks combined. Now here's the kicker. It takes an act of state legislation to alter the park. In the early 1960's, during the highway construction boom, the state of New York wanted to extend Interstate 87 from the last exit, which was at the time Lake George NY to the Quebec-Canadian border at Lacolle. Now that highway was to go through the foothills of the Adirondack High Peaks... Political deathmatch ensued and for three years, the burgeoning ecoweenies and the state did battle in courts, the ecoweenies finally losing out and the Northway was constructed. Fast forward to now...
For years, there is no cellphone service between Exits 22 and Exits 34... If you got into trouble, you were screwed. In fact, there have been a bunch of fatal accidents on that stretch of 87 that wouldn't have been fatal had their been cellphone service. There used to be emergency phones every two miles, but the state in a blinding rash of cost cutting deemed them non necessary and took them out of service. Anyways, so the state wanted cell towers for service along this 80-100 mile stretch of highway, econweenie said NO, stomped their feet, held their breath and pitched a fit over having cell towers spoil the 'natural beauty of the area'. Idiots. They compromised and found a company that makes cell towers that look like trees... B-RILLIAN-T! They cost a bunch more than the normal towers, but when you're spending government money (ie OURS) who gives a **** how much it costs... **** it buy a bunch!
For thirty plus years, the econweenies here in Adirondacks have told us where we could ride our ATV's, what color we could paint our houses, how to build our houses, how you could or couldn't buy land... all manner of fascist horseshit hidden in the term 'environmental protection'.
And then read about something like that in Germany...
I tell you, if global warming is happening, ******* get on with the disaster already or don't. I'm sick of these doomsaying ******** preaching at me over the horrible things my car is doing to the environment. If I was as pissed off as I should be, I'd find an old Chrysler Newport that got like 4 miles to the gallon and rig it so it spewed oil smoke out the tailpipe and go find the nearest ecofascist i could and let the car idle outside their house for like an hour, or until it ran out of gas, just to be a dick.
