    Since the whole point of this thread was to promote global warming theory as a mechanism to politically control the population of mankind, but especially in the United States and other Western countries, the whole thread should be shut down.

    global warming is or has become a 100% political tool
    Nothing new has been discovered that countries EPA's weren't already or about to address.
    Why did we suddenly decide EPA's of the world are useless?
    LPG has always been cleaner than gas/petrol/diesel. Has been a mainstream product in OZ for 50 years.
    Everybody knows coal is dirty, just remember London in winter 30 years ago

    As the second-most prolific poster on this thread I think you would be very disappointed if it were to be shut down. :)

    That DOHA stuff is all poop.

    Any President or Prime minister who sighs away their taxpayers cash for some kinda climate change cash transfer scheme will be thrown out.

    The weather and sea level has been going up and down for millions of years. Poor countries and underfunded NGOs are trying to use the current event to raise cash.

    Their cash for climate change demands only harden sympathies in the rich world.

    Thats right only the poor countries will get climate change. Thats why it does'nt rain much in California and pisses it down in Sudan.

    The rich have always been more lucky than the poor.

    The government should rob the rich and give it to the poor like Robin Hood.

    And Donald Trump needs a bit of robbing too or a hair cut.

    Just because its a political tool doesn't make it a fallacy !

    LPG has been a long term fuel - true, but it only has 2/3rd's of the power of petrol, and diesel is even more powerful.

    So, in the end, LPG isnt that much of a solution for anyone but flat land/low weight taxi's.

    So if my 640hp vette was legislated to run on lpg the world would end???

    and most people in the USA pick up the grocery's with 300+ hp
    its a wonder the rest of the world is not starving not being able to do this?
    The EPA in making the US cars more fuel efficient via fuel injection etc has made them way more powerful than ever and hence they use less fuel cu inch for cu inch so the US market went up scale to meet the old fuel consumption model but now they have twice the horsepower and bigger cars in the fleet.
    Net effect, possibly less total emissions but same fuel consumption only way to fix that is to tax fuel higher especially whist the USA doesnt generate the income to afford buying the foreign fuel.

    I hardly qualify as the even second most prolific poster on this thread. I would welcome seeing this political tripe shut down.

    Mostly, according to legend, Robin Hood robbed the tax collectors of Prince(later King) John for overtaxing the populace. Why do you think the Magna Carta came into existence?
