Didn't you know it's global warming when it's hot but when we have crazy cold weather it's climate change! You see it will be easier to tax people if you cover both ends of the made up spectrum!

I thought global warming was when I didn't reheat my Taco enough - made me 'ill nino'.

I am bored.

I live in Fremantle. I always wanted to get a Hummer and put [ECO NAZI] plates on the car with a "I planted trees so my car is carbon neutral" sticker

Funniest things is we have an annual 2 day "sustainability festival" in our street. The 2nd year it ran some hippy parks there station wagon in the middle of the road still RUNNING and walks away on her mobile phone trying to find her kids. On the back of the car was one of the "carbon neutral" stickers. When she got back (10 minutes later) I advised her that if she had been bothered to turned off her car she'd be carbon negative.

I was applauded by all those around me whilst she went off giving me the international symbol of love.

I liked the part about you having a turbo timer and left it idling for 2 hours. Bet the turbo was just cold enough after that.

Facts > Uneducated opinions.

http://www.climatechange.gov.au/climate-change.aspx

This is the Australian site, there are many reputable SCIENTIFIC publications worldwide with FACTS if anyone is interested.

I honestly think you shouldn't feel the need to ignore evidence just to feel better about driving a non-hybrid car. For all intents and purposes what you do to combat climate change (mainly through reducing how much energy you use) makes SFA difference on a global scale.

Please remember that these 'facts' are funded by governments and organisations wanting to prove that CO2 emmisions are causing an effect. If you would like a 'fact' that a WRX actually reverses greenhouse emmissions, give me a grant and I will prove it.

Study some of the 'facts' on how much money these promoters of 'climate change' and carbon trading will make should these items get passed through government. Al Gore and the lot of them are pushing this forward as they will make millions if not billions from it.

(Note: I do think we should all do as much as we can to be 'green' and more efficient, but there are 2 sides to the coin)

^^ couldn't agree more with Kato.

Watch "global warming swindle" documentary...download it off the web. There are enough "facts" in that film to prove global warming is one big scam.

Have a think about it...what a great way to fool people into beliving the world is about to end do to them releasing CO2. In actual fact, during the industrial revolution in the 18th/19th century human kind was releasing CO2 at much higher rates than we are at the moment.

The idea is for us, an average joe to pay tax on something we don't really have to. Soon enough they'll come up with the Oxygen shortage tax and Sun/Light usage tax. What a great way to make millions on something that doesn't exist. Having said that if anyone wants to "offset" their carbon emissions please pay $1000 per month to my account and i'll chuck some trees in your and jebus' name
