The very real problem of global warming has an affect on us all, whether we like to admit it or not. Imaginary scientists and charlatans love to tell the population that global warming is not only a myth but that it is a natural cycle of the earth, adding that we’ve encountered these cycles before and nothing has changed. These deceivers project their own special interests, claiming that global warming is part of a broad political conspiracy to gain control over large groups of the populous and apparently to force those large groups to…take better care of the world?
Oh, the horror!
Global warming is very real. There is not one reputable scientist on the face of the earth that denies basic global warming science. Some fringe scientists fight and quibble about the “human cause” of global warming and how responsible our species is, claiming that we don’t know just how responsible “we” are. How those scientists imagine we can pump noxious gases and pollutants into the ecosystem and not have an effect on the environment is beyond me, but I’m not a scientist.
Many pundits and so-called experts often decry global warming as “fear mongering,” but these are usually the individuals that also claimed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and that large groups of Islamofacists are going to arrive on the shores of the good ol’ USA with nukes and are going to kill us all because they hate our freedoms. Fact is, nobody knows the fear game quite like the brethren from the Holy Church of the Right.
So what does all of this fear mongering and doublespeak have to do with your car and how you drive? A while back we did a series called “Drive Smart.” The series revealed basic tips and hints behind getting more out of your automobile and gave some ammunition to those tired of the “debunking” crowd working hard to keep drivers drowning in big oil and bigger subsidies.
With this series, we’re going to spend the next few days going over the dangers of global warming and reviewing how problematic it can be to simply ignore the conventional scientific knowledge.
As always, we will offer suggestions as to how to curb the dangers of global warming. The suggestions usually start and end with a visit to a car dealer, such as a local Scion dealer, to learn more about vehicles that are better on the pocketbook and the environment.
