[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge SUVs like the Chevy Suburban. Even if you have a bunch of kids, the size of this SUV is excessive and the gas mileage is horrible --15 mpg!! I don't understand how so many educated people in this area can make the decision to buy these gas-guzzling vehicles. It isn't ignorance of the facts. These drivers (1) know that climate change is real; (2) know that SUVs are a non-trivial component of CO2 emissions; and (3) know that fossil fuels are a finite resource that could eventually be exhausted. Armed with this knowledge, I don't understand how educated people can purchase a big SUV. [/quote] WE DON'T CARE[/quote] There are plenty of people who feel quite differently, so I'm not sure who the "WE" is. Do you doubt the science behind global warming? Or perhaps you just don't care what happens to the planet that you are passing onward to your kids and grandkids? [/quote] I can tell you EXACTLY who part of the “WE” is: Wealthy climate activists, mouthy celebrities, and the very same politicians telling us that our SUV’s are killing the planet - but who all ride around in Suburbans and Escalades. Usually for trips to their 10ksqft+ homes or to airports where they board private jets for frivolous travel. That’s who the “WE” is. I lost all respect for Al Gore when he did his movie “An Inconvenient Truth” which featured multiple scenes of him riding around in a big, gas guzzling Town Car limousine while pontificating about C02. Until the wealthy, the climate hucksters and the politicians start living lifestyles that resemble mine, I can’t take anything they say seriously. They just need to either STFU or live what they preach. [/quote]
