The Left Go Right

Well, sort of.

Wired magazine recently featured an article that fessed to a number of enviro-items that won't sit well with the Religious Left -- you know, the persons who hate belief systems yet don't mind creating their own religion predicated upon feelings, thoughts, emotions and concrete-facts-be-damned?

In their May 19th article, "Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green," some of the ten heresies of "Global Warming" include:

• Don't Buy That New Prius! Test-Drive a Used Car Instead;


• Face It. Nukes Are the Most Climate-Friendly Industrial-Scale Form of Energy;


• Air-Conditioning Actually Emits Less C02 Than Heating;


• Carbon Credits Were a Great Idea, But the Benefits Are Illusory;


• Surprise! Conventional Agriculture Can Be Easier on the Planet;


• Old-Growth Forests Can Actually Contribute to Global Warming

Are we actually beginning to see just a molecule of common sense from the Left -- ?

. . . albeit, not the holy-rolling, Gore-Bible-thumping, snake-dancing Religious Left. . .

P.S.

I conducted my own recent investigation into a new car which just recently hit our shores, and marketed adjacent various Audi or VW dealers: the smart fortwo car. I visited my local dealer on Arden Way in Sacramento (the smartcentersacramento), and made some discoveries that should be related to my readers right now -- revelations I shall cover in a later detailed post. Overall, while potential purchasers of the smart fortwo think they're helping the environment by purchasing such a small car, they should be aware of the actual realities of this vehicle.

For example, if the motivation for purchase is MPG, then one should realize that, at best, it achieves 35 MPG. This number is equaled or bettered by any number of other larger cars, to include the current Civic, Prius, Mini Cooper, Versa, Fit or Yaris. It also requires premium unleaded -- a fact purposely hidden by the manufacturer. And because of the smart fortwo's high-revving engine, the 2008 Corvette acquires a better highway MPG.

It's all about E-MO-TIONS vs. FACTS.
