Well said Hatty.

I'm glad some people on here can think for themselves, and not let Gore do it for them.

Now can we please get back to diesel discussions?

By analyzing the amount of titanium 44, a radioactive isotope, the team found a significant increase in the Sun's radioactive output during the 20th century.



Nothing is for certain. One thing is for certain is that when the Earth warms, CO2 levels go up... in response to that warming CO2 is released from the Oceans in magnatudes that dwarf what man produces. However it is all "contributory" but... it is a "result" of Global warming, not the cause of it... We all know that, in spite of which side we take on that part of the issue, that man should lessen his contribution and lessen his need for Fossil Fuels, and do his part to not contribute. However the emphasis needs also be way more on adapting to Global warming more than just reducing mans contribution to it. Because it does occur with or without his contribution... and we have to adapt to whatever climate the Universe throws at us. We should expend far more effort on adapting and preparing for alternate Crops and survival than we do blaming the cause on something. We can do all we want reducing the Mans contribution and it still will occur and then what do we do? Man is not the only cause. And many will argue they are a minor part of it all.




And renewable Diesel fuel holds the most promise for helping reduce dependence on the non renewable form of fuel.




See how I got back to Diesel?

pearl black 1983 240d 4speed (Converted!@$$%) atleast the tranny was rebuilt.

That's crazy that a VW SUV is worse emission wise than my nieghbors V-10 Ford truck.

The article said specifically that they didn't include trucks in their comparison.

Right, but that makes it a worthless article. Take out all the other polluters and end up with what you really want to make look bad.

Man induced global warming is real for those positioned to make a profit from it! Let's not forget that! More than 90% of all CO2 is not produced by man, so how come it is that suddenly the sky is falling? I'll take a fuel efficient diesel over a gasoline hybrid any day!

Did you even read the posts on the previous page? I'm tired of reading these uneducated sound bites from people who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Then stop posting about it DA and the rest of us won't have to read "uneducated sound bites from people who don't have a clue what they're talking about".

The article should have been titled "Dirty Driving: Top 10 Worst Diesel SUV Polluters"

You probably need to read it again yourself until you understand it...

I'm never the one who starts discussing GW. It's always someone clueless who just needs to "vent" about his ignorance on the subject, like you.

Point out one specific thing that I said about GW that is incorrect, and explain how it is incorrect & why it matters. Don't give me any general crap. Be specific. Until you do that, you've got absolutely nothing.
