    I could give a KRAP about global warming. I am going to build a bigger badder motor for my boat

    Bigger cam means better flowing heads and exhaust equals bigger carb.

    Nothing wrong as long as the environmental protections used to curb and help clean the planet apply to everyone. Not just the middle class and poor. If the rich CEOs or governments of the world dont have to abide by the same rules then it becomes just a money game.

    A good start would be grounding all jet powered aircraft, man do they pollute. And nobody can own a pickup or suv without showing a good work related reason why they need one...otherwise it is a small car only.
    That should piss off enough people that the backlash ends the excessive tree hugging.

    "The California coast grew and prospered during a remarkable moment in history when the sea was at its tamest.

    But the mighty Pacific, unbeknownst to all, was nearing its final years of a calm but unusual cycle that had lulled dreaming settlers into a false sense of endless summer.

    Elsewhere, Miami has been drowning, Louisiana shrinking, North Carolina’s beaches disappearing like a time lapse with no ending. While other regions grappled with destructive waves and rising seas, the West Coast for decades was spared by a rare confluence of favorable winds and cooler water. This “sea level rise suppression,” as scientists call it, went largely undetected. Blinded from the consequences of a warming planet, Californians kept building right to the water’s edge.

    But lines in the sand are meant to shift. In the last 100 years, the sea rose less than 9 inches in California. By the end of this century, the surge could be greater than 9 feet.

    Wildfire and drought dominate the climate change debates in the state. Yet this less-talked-about reality has California cornered. The coastline is eroding with every tide and storm, but everything built before we knew better — Pacific Coast Highway, multimillion-dollar homes in Malibu, the rail line to San Diego — is fixed in place with nowhere to go.

    But the world is getting hotter, the great ice sheets still melting, the rising ocean a slow-moving disaster that has already swept past California’s front door. Seaside cliffs are crumbling in Pacifica, bringing down entire buildings. Balboa Island, barely above sea level, is spending $1.8 million to raise the wall that separates it from the ocean."​

    Cruise ships would be a great start, pointless waste of everything.

    Wouldn't take a year.
    If all trucks just parked for a month, the chaos would be so overwhelming that even the hippies would be begging for trucks to start rolling again. Tree huggers are all hypocrites. They drive vehicles, live in homes with heat and AC, want to go on holidays riding in a jet to someplace, cook on a fuel powered stove, have flush toilets, and hot water....then say oh but hey I am green and I hugged a tree one time. They need to move 100 miles away from homes, live under some tree branches, sleep on the ground, eat berries, and own nothing but the clothes on their back....then you are truly living green...otherwise you're a hypocrite.

    This has gotten all serious and argumentive is so many different ways. It started as a joke if a news article....oh no it's 100° in Florida in July. Has been that way as long as I've been alive and kinda what the area is known for and we haven't hit this 105° they said is the new normal.

    Spend some time in Italy. The buildings are draped in Diesel Soot from all the Small efficient diesel cars.

    They actually banned you from driving your car into the city of Milan unless you live in it because of the pollution.


    But that Stupid Country borders on Socialism and Communism in any given year. They can't keep a Elected official for barely a year before one is Overthrown,voted out or quits.
