China builds one new COAL fired power station a WEEK, very green.
The yanks are aresholes when it comes to climate as seen at KYOTO etc, I have yet to meet a yank that does not leave their car running at least 20 minutes before driving off, either it's to cool it down(air con) or warm it up(winter), we as a nation contribute less than 2% of the worlds pollutionm yet get this stuffed down our necks, and it all costs.
Christ the yanks even have drive in churches, on base a drive in video shop, food place etc, no wonder a lot are a heart attack looking for a place to happen, brits are getting bad as well.
I use the park and ride(ace idea IMO) and can't get my head around the sign at the exit, "THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT" etc etc, while they leave the bus engines running all the time when stopped for 15 minutes at each end.
Global warming is NOT NEW, it has occured many many times throughout history, as has global cooling(ice age) but I blame global warming on the dinosaurs for being lazy and driving everywhere, instead of walking, I mean when was the last time you saw a dinosaur WALK to maccy d's ?
They try to force people to buy newer greener cars, the polution it creates in their nanufacture is not thought about.
Public transport in this country is expensive, I asked for a ticket for two adults 1 child from thetford to london £187, I can drive there + back for less than £20.
