If, as Al Gore says, Global Warming is "the most important moral, ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced," (a ludicrous contention IMO), then why aren't Al Gore and his minions letting ordinary Americans know what they have in store for them?

As I've tried to point out in a couple of posts, if human meat consumption is the number one cause of Global Warming, then why is there so much silence surrounding America's obvious "addiction" to meat?

And if this is the "most important moral, ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced" should there be any internal combustion cars on the road at all?

Why aren't more environmentalists calling for an outright ban, like author Edwin Black?

"These [cars with internal combustion engines] are the cigarettes of individual movements. These are the cigarettes of technology. These are eight-cylinder cigarettes. They are killing us....

[...]

Congress and the administration can make up for lost time, Black said, if they "tobacco-nize" the industry. Just as the government can legislate that smoking is not permitted in public buildings, so too, he said, can it prevent certain vehicles from driving on certain roads.

"The government owns the complete infrastructure for automobiles -- every road, every highway, every alley is government-owned," Black said, adding that such authority gives the federal government the ability to dictate what forms of fuel should be located alongside the roads and which cars should be allowed on them.

Internal combustion vehicles "should not be permitted on the road. They should be taxed out of existence right now," Black said.

A most peculiar situation. You'd almost think that most of these people didn't believe in their own rhetoric.

Either that or they're hiding their agenda.

And I'm supposed to trust them?
