Whilst I pretty much sit on the fence this you tube video is interesting...

You Tube Link

I do my little bit but I am not here to save the world either. My race car does a far bit of polluting

And for the record I think in a few years when the climate cycle changes this will either all go away, or we will be bombarded with "global cooling" instead.
I think it was Time Magazine or such that had the front page 20 odd years ago screaming that their would be massive changes in earth's climate, no water, crop yeilds 10% of the size of that current day, etc, etc, scare, scare, scare.

The global threat? You guessed it, Global Cooling!

This, the C02 myth, is all a load of crap started by Al Gores 'An Inconveinient Untruth". In the UK now the courts have ruled that if a teacher wants to show the movie to school kids they must be given a sheet of paper citing citing that there is no scientific evidence anywhere throughout the whole film.
There is climate change going on but NO GLOBAL WARMING and climate change has always gone on. The IPCC has 19 scientists that decide what lies the UN publish about it. Check out the US EPA website most of what the media are saying is a 100% antithisis of whats really going on. The IPCC ensure that 20,000+ scientists trying to tell the truth about C02 can't get heard. This is all emotionally inspired drivel about money via carbon credits. I can understand fully why Howard and Bush wouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol. Baldy has signed it and fitted us taxpeyers up to the tune of some 36 billion dollars a year. It would have cost the Yanks almost 400 billon and yet cow farts emit more C02 into the atmosphere every day than cars. Anybody who pays carbon tax is a damn fool IMHO

IMO (reading up on both sides) is that global warming is natural and not a result from CO2 emissions. So checked the I don't care as its the closest thing to it.

All this information here is biased, comon guys you are all car enthusiasts and the people on the global warming side are raving on. Unless either side comes up with some solid facts this is just some rambling. HOPEFULLY i should be looking into this more later this year.

Where did you source your information from? Give us a reference and we can check up if its credible or not.

I don't agree with carbon tax and like that, but i do believe in trying to cut CO2 emissions.
