An all this points toward is are endless dependency of fossil fuel. Which is causing climate change plus other natural climate change factors. We humans are helping to accelerating it, With in just few decades not the slow process the mother nature has gone through over thousands of years.
You can not argue that autos are much cleaner today than in the past. A Honda Accord going at 55 mph puts out less pollution than a 1962 Ford that was NOT EVEN TURNED ON! Let the market and technology work and get the idiots like Gore out of this issue.
Nobody wants dirty air but I am not joining in until the Chineese and Indians are on board. Why do they get a total pass and the US is the devil in this thing. China recently "discovered" 10 brand new coal fired electic plants with 1/10 the capacity of the UK with NO POLLUTION CONTROLS AT ALL! The whole thing is designed to make you feel bad about yourself while the "undevloped countries" are given a pass. Look at all the Made in China tags proudly displayed on almost every Trek under $1000.
