lets just say for an example all of this evidence didnt exist right? we have nothing to lose if we try to prevent it our way if we just ignore it, it will get worse. whats the saying? its better safe then sorry?

stop being ignorant and look at the world around us its falling apart because people are to stupid to realize it]]>Oct 13th 2009 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/
But hey, I'm all for alternative fuel and solar power and other green energy movements. I'm sure it is the future, I'm just not sure that it's as urgent as the politicians would have you believe.]]>Oct 13th 2009 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/
From Wikipedia:
"National and international science academies and scientific societies have assessed the current scientific opinion, in particular on recent global warming. These assessments have largely followed or endorsed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) position of January 2001 that states:

'An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system... There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.'

Since 2007, no scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion."

Did you catch that? NO dissenting opinions from national or international scientific bodies!

What in the world do you think happens when man continually pumps heat and crap into the atmosphere like never before in history? Nothing? Where does it all go? What happens when you leave something that generates heat in a room? Does it stay the same temperature in the room? No, it gets hot! I know the atmosphere is more complex, but really, is it that much of a stretch to imagine that global warming is due to human activities, especially after the industrial revolution?

This reminds me of the article I saw on Ars a while ago: "The public trusts scientists—but not their conclusions"

"Only 60 percent of the public thinks that science has reached a consensus on its acceptance of the evidence for evolution (97 percent of scientists think so) and half of those who think that species haven't evolved say that science doesn't conflict with their religious beliefs."]]>Oct 13th 2009 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/
Interesting read : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1833902.stm]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/
Also there is a massive report published against global warming including numerous prominent scientists here's a few quotes:

“I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” - Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever.

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.

“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.

“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico

“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.

“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.

Am I in favor of being responsible with the environment... Sure. Do I think that 95% of the enviro-types are out of their heads and using an over-blown story to institute controls on things that aren't needed? Without any doubt at all.]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/

Like i said if we are right we can stop it... if your right we cant.... So you are so stubborn minded that even if there is the smallest chance we are right your not willing to take it to save the entire planet?

i thought the average enagadget reader was a little smarter then this

plus a two year old can put together that all of our Co2 emissions have something to due with why the world is getting hotter

To say Global warming isnt happening to due to human cause is like not believing in evolution, i know some dont but with all of this scientific evidence you really have to plug your hears and scream to not see this

and why not? are you guys that scared of driving an electric car? not getting your energy from solar panel?
whats the harm?]]>Oct 13th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/
People seem to forget that there's this gigantic ball of fire in the center of our solar system that completely determines whether we live or die, that sustains life. And those that do remember that there is a sun for some reason believes it burns at an absolute constant all the time. That's astonishing!

You hear about carbon this and carbon that but how come nobody brings up the fact that the most abundant and most effecting greenhouse gas is water vapor? Is it just more profitable to blame carbon? How about methane which is a much more powerful greenhouse gas? Nyah, let's just blame carbon since that'll allow the government to tax the hell out literally everything.

I'm all for alternative fuels only because we need to get the hell out of the middle east and other country's affairs and also because oil supplies aren't infinite. You think we're at war now for oil? Wait till all the oil wells dry out.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/

If we do nothing and this IS our fault, then we're killing our own planet, if it isn't then we're still poisioning our air and devouring a rapidly dwindling resource.

In short doing SOMETHING is a win-win decision, doing nothing is a lose-lose decision.

considering we're playing with our own future here i'd recommend going for the win.]]>Oct 13th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/Oct 13th 2009 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/Oct 13th 2009 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/

You enact one crazy law, somehow get it passed, but it's NEVER enough. If you somehow cram this down peoples throats, you will say that's not enough and make up some crazy law that all tires must now be made of recycled pencil erasers.

Why should people support this? All it does is add to the cost of the car, subtract from it's usefulness, and piss off a lot of gadget owners in the process. All so you can save a few oz of fuel? You could black out the windows and it will still be hot as hell if you let your car sit out long enough. How about instead of worrying how hot MY car gets you do something important like solve your immigration problem, budget crisis, try to solve the whole water problem. What I would love to see is EVERY major auto manufacturer pull out of CA. Does CA think it's so important that the world should design cars based on their hippy dreams. Thank god I don't live there.

Should we really be letting a state that's bankrupt with no plan be "leading" the increasingly absurd "green" movement. As the saying goes "if you give a mouse a cookie...." well, you know the rest. ]]>Oct 13th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/california-cool-cars-regs-put-the-kibosh-on-radio-cellphone-an/

Annnnyway, in regard to the point of the article, I understand the purpose of this legislation, but it seems overreaching.

@Nicallica: energy efficient windows also tend to be good at keeping heat in where necessary (http://www.natcap.org/sitepages/pid37.php) so if done properly this will reduce your heater usage.
