    We're all doomed! LOL. I'm I really bad person because not only do I have diesel trucks.....now I have to have a DPF on my diesel compact tractor so that I can do 20 minute regens to mow my lawn too. Awesome.

    Or all of the LiEberal Democrats that flock to ChinaMart in droves to buy more cheap China crap - they suffer from the hypocrite NIMBY syndrome.

    And they then have the nerve to punish us for what the likes of China and India are doing - gross polluters.

    Treehugging ecotards will be the end of the planet - not gliders.

    They still won’t explain/justify how using more diesel is better for the environment while they preach insane fuel economy out the other side of their hypocrite traps!

    Oh, we can't make everything better instantly? Let's not even bother and ignore the lasting effects we've had and continue to do so. I have to laugh when the whackjobs identify themselves by name calling. This is not a politically partizan issue, but a human issue.

    Truth hurts, eh?


    Hop on a plane and go to China - you have no clue on what pollution is until you do.

    Just like that one MP on our side of the border. She wants fuel oil heat gone. That's bad.
    Then they want to ban wood heat. that's bad.
    Natural gas....nope bad. wants that gone.
    Now she wants to punish us for using electricity because it's also a polluter.

    Hahahaha....OK what's left? that's why we need global warming. It will be the only way to heat my home, LOL.

    Guess we should just give up because China pollutes more.

    We have our corner of the Earth's pollution under control, but it's diminishing gains aren't nearly worth it while that effort could put towards other bad polluting areas could just be shown what we already learned.

    An old common sense saying: If it isn't broke, don't try to fix it!

    The diesel engine never was any real source of pollution, even entire fleets of them! The occasional smoke does fool a lot of uneducated fanatics and idiots though.

    Given the current pattern of thinking, they will outlaw beans next. They do produce greenhouse gasses you know. The Mexican restaurants will have to shut down, and where will they put the catalytic converters for that? LOL

    Quit pulling numbers out of your ### to make a political point. The "science" isn't proven one way or another. Most of it is biased junk science anyway. It's not reasonable to impose extraordinary costs and impose onerous controls on ordinary people's lives based on politically motivated junk science.
