Global Warming - Eliminating all U.S. gasoline powered vehicles would reduce...

"Eliminating all U.S. gasoline powered vehicles would reduce worldwide carbon dioxide emissions by 0.18%."

Is this statement true?

If so, then surely at least as regards cars and the like (which we're getting taxed on now to stop using) it's a lot of fuss about nothing isn't it?

Some great posts by mr jack and lowrider on the GW subject...

Global Warming as far as we see in the news,etc. is a myth... mostly for political ends... but like many things theres a kernel of truth beneath it... if we do leave our CO2 and so on emissions unchecked then eventually we are going to have to face some issues due to it.

I guess my issue is taxes are being raised in effect to try and force us out of our cars. If the figure I quoted in the OP is correct the outcome of this will be sooooo small you have to wonder how justified is it?

Yes, we all want a cleaner planet with electric cars charged via solar or fusion, but my question still stands.

You like the idea of child poverty?

Forcibly remove them from the parents and put them into care?

You're taxed to put cars on the road... I'm sure Brown would love the idea of a pregnancy tax
