scary shiat.

There may not be any consistent agreement about global warming... but should we not take the precautions anyways? Making the shift to environmentally friendly technologies will NOT severely harm us- But if the environmentalists are right, failure to heed the warnings by scientists WILL greatly harm society.

In this period of uncertainty it is only logical to fully commit to the precautionary steps to help avoid a major catastrophe.

The global temperature has only risen about 0.6 degrees in the past 50 years. Climate change IS happening, but why is it that everytime it gets hot out people yell global warming?? Heat waves happen. It's the OTHER consequences that we should be worried about (desertification, etc)

Im also for electric vehicles. The parking is an issue of space, not of pollution. Lets not confuse correlation with causation.
