Maybe we should get Kyoto bunch to address the
36 coalfield fires on a total of 826 hectares scattered along the northern and southern sides of Mt. Tianshan (Heavenly Mountain) in China, burning 10.03 million tons of coal. These fires have been burning for more than 100 years and annually put out more CO2 than all US cars and light trucks do.
Then if we put out the Centralia Pennsylvania fire, we would reduce the CO2 equivalent to all heavy trucks too...

All it takes is one good volcanic burp to put millions of tons of CO2 in the air. But CO2, IMHO, is not the cause of weather extremes. The cause is a heating up of the upper atmosphere, caused mainly by air travel. This puts a damper on the normal vertical displacements.

Interesting information you have on the Chinese and Centralia coal fires and their relative contributions to atmospheric CO2.

And I don't give a darn how much your 2 SUV's CO2 emissions contribute to "global warming".

What I DO object to is the fact then when my poor little Lincoln Town Car gets parked between two of your tank-like monstrosities, there's no way under heaven that I can back out of a parking place and see oncoming traffic without just backing out and endangering my life.

Or even see a red light over your turrets.

In conclusion, I plain old don't like SUV's.
