Think ERP is bad? Just wait....

Yesterday in the forum section of the ST there was a letter from some dumb ang mor [but he has plenty of local sympathisers who are just as dumb, don't worry] urging Singapore to "set a good example" by cutting back on carbon emissions.

And you know what that means.

For those of you who have not had the experience of tangling with environ-mental cases in the US and UK: the next step will be a letter-writing campaign against SUVs. So wasteful, so greedy, blah blah blah, in short, the politics of envy concealed under a self-righteous veneer of concern for later generations etc etc. A load of political bullshit from all the dried-up middle-aged women in their protons and vioses.

Now don't get me wrong: I have no time for SUVs either. They drive like crap, and are usually driven by lame-asses who get them because it makes them feel "safe", while everyone else feels a hell of a lot less "safe" while mummy tries to feed the brat with one hand and drive with the other. *But* once we let SUVs be demonized, fast cars will be next. That shithead Ken Livingstone in London is ostensibly going after SUVs, but in practice his taxes are directed at people who have the nerve to drive cars that produce more than a certain amount of CO2 per km. It's all too easy to imagine that kind of bullshit being brought in over here; after all, only "rich" people [like us] will suffer, not "the lower income".

By the way, also in yesterday's ST, Andy Ho had an excellent article about the global warming swindle. I hope everyone will read it and get ready to fire off letters to the ST when the enviro-dumbfux start their campaign against our cars......meanwhile, Sheryl Crow wants you to use only one square of toilet paper when you crap. Don't laugh, it's probably as effective as all the other rubbish these idiots want to force on us. I'm a bit disappointed with Sheryl though --- why didn't she suggest that we use *both sides* of that square of toilet paper? Or is that where she writes her lyrics?

so low carbon emission means Supercars and american muscle cars shld not be sold here?

All that and more....what it means is that the gahmen slaps on a new tax proportional to the number of grams of CO2 your car produces per km. Of course, it won't go up linearly --- it will go up faster and faster as the gm/km increases. This obvious injustice is what liberals call "social justice". So a Lamborghini Murcielago, which produces 500gms/km, will pay some unbelievable tax because rich people are all evil. Not-so-rich but still evil people with 335is [228 gm/km] will pay a bit less but still a hell of a lot more than camry drivers. People who fart a lot will be fined. Anyone who uses more than one square of toilet paper per crap will be declared to be killers of their grandchildren. And so on.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that if I went back in time and reproached my grandparents for being wasteful, they would have pointed out that I am a hell of a lot richer than they ever were, and that I can easily afford to pay for their environmental crimes. I'm also pretty sure that they would kick my ass. I suggest that we hand on these traditional values to our grandchildren.

Re: Think ERP is bad? Just wait....

For anybody wanting to read more into this debate of global warming but do not have the time to do it, I suggest you add the following 4 page article to your reading:

Road and Track Magazine - Climate Change, CO2 and the Automobile (6/2007)

Summary - if we increase the efficiency of the engine to double the average MPG in all the cars in the world, we will be able to cut MAN MADE CO2 emissions BY 3%. NOTE that this is MAN MADE CO2 which only form a small fraction of TOTAL CO2 including those coming from cow fart, plant respiration, etc.

Read first. This is the best primer. After that follow up with scientific reading.

I feel for you, brother.

BUT the best way to do it is by education. People don't believe you and me because we're anonymous. BUT you can give articles and SUMMARIZE them. Tell us the framework of your thought. ORGANIZE the information. Make it palatable.

Hold seminars. Help organize seminars. I am willing to help.

I welcome the truth. BUT what I can't stand, is that we are so short on resources now, to bark up the wrong tree by making automotive tech more efficient, instead of putting the resources in the best place for the best gain, will kill us all more quickly.

Hard work is a tradition that we should pass on. People nowadays take everything for granted and don't realize what they have.... lazy arses...
