Climate Disconnect

There seems to be a disconnect between macro and micro governments’ statements and actions recently.

Governments, Al Gore and David Suzuki all tell us that cars contribute to pollution, greenhouse gases and therefore global warming, which is apparently a bigger threat to the earth than Iranian nuclear missiles. They also say we have too many cars, leading to congestion and therefore we must be taxed in the future for the privilege of using private vehicles. Thus, we need to cut back on private travel, garbage is going to be collected once every 2 weeks, and postal service will be once a day only on weekdays, but not to one’s door. By the way, North American car companies, please take $40 billion to continue to make shoddy second-rate vehicles in an inefficient and costly manner compared to your competitors.
