When you're behind this Eldorado in traffic and you catch a whiff of its exhaust, you know you're behind a 472 cubic-inch V-8 made before pollution controls.
You sure love that whole "Muh earf" agenda. The majority of air pollution comes from manufacturing and power generation in China, India, and the Middle East. Cars aren't the problem.
Thanks for reading. A couple of facts that may interest you regarding pollution from cars:
*New passenger vehicles are 98-99% cleaner for most tailpipe pollutants compared to the 1960s. Fuels are much cleaner—lead has been eliminated, and sulfur levels are more than 90% lower than they were prior to regulation.
* According to the EPA, motor vehicles collectively cause 75 percent of carbon monoxide pollution in the U.S. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) estimates that on-road vehicles cause one-third of the air pollution that produces smog in the U.S., and transportation causes 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. has 30 percent of the world's automobiles, yet it contributes about half of the world's emissions from cars.
Riiiiiiight. Cars in the US are the biggest contributor to air pollution in the entire globe. May I ask why you run a blog dedicated to old cars if you are so against them? Might as well delete everything and run a blog about Teslas and and Ocasio Cortez's New Green Deal. Before you even bring it up, banning cars would be like putting a band-aid on a compound fracture. You'd just be taking away people's freedom and individuality.
"May I ask why you run a blog dedicated to old cars if you are so against them?" I love old cars. I wouldn't endorse using them for daily commuting purposes (they're also not very safe), but I don't think the occasional cruise in a vintage Cadillac is going to hasten the end of civilization.
"Might as well delete everything and run a blog about Teslas and and Ocasio Cortez's New Green Deal." Oh, I have a blog about politics. Note the link at the top of this page to http://joegoodfriend.blogspot.com/
"Before you even bring it up, banning cars would be like putting a band-aid on a compound fracture." We can agree that limiting tailpipe emissions barely scratches the surfaces when it comes to address the global climate change crisis.
