There is another interesting thread on this topic from a month or so ago.
In that thread I made the point that politics was taking precedence over science, and instead of open discussion and scientific debate, anyone who disagreed with the global warming dogma was personally attacked, vilified, and bullied into acquiescence.
An interesting article I read the other day said that all the efforts towards improving energy efficiency and fuel economy in vehicles have been futile. Although average gas mileage has improved drastically since the 1970's, people are driving more kilometres and there are more vehicles on the road, with the net effect being an increase in gasoline consumption.
