time, it might be wise to lessen our release of C02.

See my other posts on the matter. You are (I think) sort of new here; a few months ago (maybe a year?) I posted a post about a paper I did for a Geology course I was taking in College wherein I put forth the propostition that warming occurred prior to an ice age, and based it on the fact that August is the hottest month of the year, 6 weeks after the sun has reached it's highest point. In 1975 there wasn't a lot of reference to draw upon, so it was a LOT of inference. The biggest part of what I presented was that the Earth does not orbit the Sun uniformly, and at times orbit closer (warmer periods) and at others is further out (ice ages). I believe we are on the verge of beginning the swing outward again, and the Earth is warming because we are nearing the cycle in the orbit pattern that brings us the closest to the sun. Interestingly enough, studies of Antarctic ice have so far shown my 'theory' to be correct! (Believe me, it's something I keep an eye on!) I posted a reference to some of the material I have run across in another post. But the bottom line is, I don't believe we have as much an effect on climate change as we would be led to believe. There are a LOT greater factors to take into consideration! Do greenhouse gasses play a part? I would believe so, but remember there were those in the 50's that believed the emissions caused by burning (anything) for energy would bring on cooling! (as you can see, this is a particularly interesting area of study for me. Had I gone into Geology instead of Electronics, I would have persued this!) |

The OP is saying that his subject line is correct. The OP is also correct.
The Prius failed the test. It is a stupid test. But what do you expect wtih
a Republican governor? Well, at least he wears seat belts. ;-)

the other two.
Anyone reading that subject line, but not the article, would be left
assuming that the Prius's emissions are too high to be able to pass the
emissions test.
I wouldn't put it past Scott to have posted it that way on purpose, just to
get a reaction. If it wasn't on purpose, then... uh-oh...

An "incompltete test" is considered a failure (in Mass, but the tests are Federal) and you get a Black reject (emissions). -- Scott in Florida |

DUH, CO2 is not a pollutant, without it all vegetation on earth would die. Without the greenhouse gases, that hold heat in the atmosphere, we could not live on the earth. |
hot.
DOH!
CO2 is also a poison. When I was doing lab research, rats were euthanized
with CO2. CO2 nearly posioned the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission
(according to the book _The_Lost_Moon_ by James Lovell). If the
concentration of CO2 in your body goes up by 50%, your blood pH will go down
and you will start breathing real fast (this is called respiratory
acidosis).

is important to the body so go ahead and drink a gallon of it. Or that iron
is important to the body so eat 50 times the regular amount your body needs.

Precisely. This goes back to the thought process I was talking about. These
guys dont think past their own argument. C02 is normal and in fact it is
released naturally. However, doubling up on that or quadrupling isnt
normal.. Kind of like saying a certain amoung of salt is normal for the body
so it shouldnt hurt if you eat 100 times that amount. When infact it would
kill you to do such a thing.

so please don't try to confuse the issue. The tested emissions are
for low-atmospheric-level pollutants that create smog (making it
difficult to breathe) and acid rain (which erodes buildings and
poisons plants).
