Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / March 2007White House Flip-Flops--Supports Gore
White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 per year to 9.2 by 2020. This contained in the draft of a report prepared for submission to the U.N. A "silver lining", if you will, is that, according to the report, this increase should not result in significant rises in sea levels. However, it should provide for wide spread drought and water scarcities. Source: White House via AP. > White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 per year > to 9.2 by 2020.

I see too many pickup trucks during rush hour with only one person insiide and nothing in the box.... empty.

Just hauling one a.s to work. SUVs in showrooms should have a large sticker on the window. Huge red letters: Having 4 wheel drive reduces your gas mileage by this much, even if you don't use it. Do you really intend to drive over boulders like in the commercials, or should you be looking at a different vehicle? >>> >>> White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 >>> >>> per [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > if you don't use it. Do you really intend to drive over boulders like in > the commercials, or should you be looking at a different vehicle? Yep. Plus SUVs often tend to be a status thing, AFAICT. Personally, I've never seen the allure.

Just hauling one a.s to work. Which is exactly the way the manufacturers imagined many of them and SUVs to be used. Which is why they have air conditioning, stereos and are more car-like in their interiors than they used to be. The manufacturers also imagined people paying a lot more for them, so they can make more profit. That's why the Japanese want to get in on the action too.

It would force people to have smaller families or even no kids. Maybe it would put you out of a job, but you won't be alone. > I think the auto industry should ramp up their efforts, but your solution > goes OTT - simply not practical. > > Cathy -- >> >> White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 per >> >> year [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Absolutely.

You are nuts. 1) This is the U.S., not China - you can't "force" people to have fewer children, even through this srrt of means - people tend to value their personal rights. 2) Last I knew, the average number of children per American family is ~2 (give or take a fraction of a kid) anyway. 3) There are about to be a ton of retirements, re: us baby boomers - even if teaching positions are cut via attrition, yet more positions will need to be filled in the next few years due to the very large number of soon-to-be retirees. Couple that with the fact that it can be difficult to persuade people to go into teaching to begin with; neither I (who am the most senior teacher in my building & plan to stay a little while longer), nor others, would be out of a job.

GOOD IDEA!! This is one time I will agree with you. -- In message news:FEDGh.4125$ya1.2322@news02.roc.ny, tak sprach forth the following: > White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 per > year to 9.2 by 2020. Good. A sign of economic growth with the side effect of increasing plant growth. > This contained in the draft of a report prepared > for submission to the U.N.

Ah, the doom-and-gloomers from the 60's and 70's are back, fellating Paul Ehrlich and other 100% wrong a.sholes. Suck away, faggot. > White House Admits that U.S. is going from 6.6 Billion tons of CO2 per > year to 9.2 by 2020.

The administration has been accepted global warming as a problem for years: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/02/20070207-5.html |
