That a large chunk of our CO2 emissions come from cars, and that you should show restraint when (1) buying and (2) using because the amount we emit is a problem.
you can tell when people who dont normally post in motors wander in when they see a topic in the "last post" headline on the forum index
This is a prime example of why we as people, quite frankly deserve to die out. Its people like this, that dont reasearch subjects off their own back, and base their own oppinions on whats in the media, that really annoy me. We're such a gullibe race who'll believe anything. Wise up man !
if your reading this, let me ask you some questions
1) Exactly how did we emerge from the last ice age. Look at the accepted reason for why we have the mountains we do in the lake district. This is was due to the ice pushing apart the landscape. This ice then melted at the end of the landscape, leaving the vast vallies we find now.
How did the earth warm up so much as to end an ice age ? some 8000 years ago, long before any human co2 emissions.
2) Have you ever considered if "all" the scientists in the world accept that global warming is due to man made emissions ? The answer is no they dont. heres an interesting article by one such scientist, who disagreed with the scientists that say its man made

The reaction from the scientific community speaks volumes. Why are they actively trying to supress him ?
3) have you done any research of your own ? or just read whats listed in the tabloids ?
Because there is a wealth of information on the internet, by people who believe that climate change is not man made. And these arent some crack pots. I suggest you have a read

and
4) What about the points that others raise. Why is taxing high pollutions cars a good idea. If you take a look at the facts, the cars driven by motorists account for about 2 % of global co2 production. If every single one of us stopped driving our cars one day and everybody rode bikes everwhere, the Co2 production would have rose back to the level before we gave up cars very quickly. What would it achieve if we all stopped driving cars ??
