That's something else.

Why has no program been put in place to have a transit system emulating say, Canada's...in every major metropolitan area in the US?

When I lived in Canada, I lived in a little burg called Milton...probably 50 miles or so from Toronto. I could hop on the Go-Train any time day or night...skip over to Toronto, and catch a bus anywhere I needed to go.

Not only would it provide a way to reduce carbon emissions, it would provide a way for many poorer people to get to work and off welfare. If they wanted to that is, and I'm not getting into that argument.

The US emits nearly half of the world's automotive carbon dioxide.

Government talks a good game, but that's it.

Like I said...LOTS of stuff could be being done...but nobody's really doing much of anything except arguing, lol.
Word up brother!

I'm fortunate enough to be living in one of the few US cities where using mass transit to get everywhere is doable:

Want to see something 'funny' - Google "causes half of global warming".

Just that part. You'll find like 5,000 things that cause 'half of' Global Warming. Makes me wonder in that science how many halves are in the whole [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

LOL...that's funny!

BUT! The article was talking about how the US emits half the world's automotive C02! Not that it was responsible for half the world's global warming.

THIS is probably an example of what you're talking about, though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

By this logic, shouldn't we be waiting until we are attacked by terrorists again since we don’t actually have any proof of who is going to try and attack us?

I could probably think of a dozen other situations where this mindset would be extremely detrimental but I'm sure you realize this now.
Which attack on the WTC are you referring to, the first or the second? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Or the 300 attacks before that...? Need a scorecard to keep up with the who's who?

I'm sure the Roman Catholic Church used that argument during the inquisition, too. Just gotta follow the power and money trail.

In the end, you are still holding the bag regarding the need to provide proof of man-made global warming. Until then, I am not a believer and will do nothing to support the actions of those that want to and have implemented regulations. It's thuggery to push the issue in a negative way, only hurts their own position.

If you are walking down a dirt road and you see a turtle sitting on top a fence post, someone put the turtle there.

Turtles have been sighted doing unusual things:

Now you just aren't making any sense at all.

is in reference to the fact that you aren't posting anything factual at all. You are simply giving labels to people and gracing us with your wonderful opinions...

I say that because they try to force all this stuff on us with simply a "trust me" argument. That's indicative of a con-artist. All they need are jackboots and their attire would be complete. Prolly on layaway for the moment...
That's what's hearsay.

Perhaps you were thinking of the word heresy??? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Put on your glasses [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] That was not the full context of the post. That was a rant, followed by a point made in the paragraph before. Need I write everything in "wall of text" form to keep from getting dissected? But the rant is true enough in any case. If this were a formal debate thread... I would have added references to back up the rant [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ...even though no sources are good enough for this "just trust me/them" crowd. I don't have enough faith to be a global warming advocate. Cuz that's what it takes, lots and lots of faith. Faith based science. meh

Yes read it as heresy, was outside at the time with my screen a bit glared from the sunlight. Seemed to fit anyhoot, global warming seems more religious if anything.
