Say it isn't so....LOL

Not easy because it doesn't work if the rest of the world thinks you are insane and that your predictions of the future are based on lies.;)
Why would other countries without a heavy car industry follow us (or even lead ahead) then. What has for example Finland to gain by doing it? More expensive cars can't be their main goal, can it.

Looking only at short term local data is not really any indication of a global trend. The climate is a complex beast, when the global trend is warming that does not mean that there is an equal and proportional change all over the globe, the response is different from area to area.

Mars does the same thing. Pretty sure there arent any SUV's on mars. :rotfl:

Yes, there is fluctuation withing climate, but it is not quite as clar cut as that. The rate of recent warming has been unprecedented in Earths climate history, as far as we are aware of anyway. To say that humans are having no effect on that is to hide ones head in the sand, hell, humans affected large scale changes in the ecosystem surrounding them way before industrialisation, it is just that now the changes are occuring on a grander scale and taking action against that now could be benefitial in the long run. Ofcourse, I am not saying things are as bad as al gore and other nutcases make it out to be, but it isnt nonexistant and not affected by us, like the oil companies would have you belive, either.

The truth is somewhere in the middle, as it is with all things that get draged into politics. Anyhow, there is a nice youtube series which explains things a bit better than anyone would bother to read if i were to look up all the sources and made a wall of text post with the information, but who knows, I might actualy go through with it. Do not take this as fact, be sceptical about everything you hear and feel free to check the sources mentioned in the videos.
