Anyone that has even a basic grasp on Astronomy or Science (Physics in particular) will not come to the conclusion that the moon landing is fake. They don't even have the filming techniques now to accurately depict a walk on the moon without using tons of animation, and they DEFINITELY didn't have the technology to do it 40+ years ago.

The government needs to stop trying to dictate how the market works. The market is not the government's responsibility, and forcing arbitrary fuel economy guidelines on the auto industry is neither going to help consumers nor is it going to measurably help the environment. All they're going to do is raise car prices to the point where families can scarcely afford a second car and hurt the economy.
Sorry if that gets the thread locked, but it's something that needed to be said.

The entire argument for this "save-the-planet" crap is based on the fallacy that carbon dioxide is a pollutant or more generally that we're killing the planet - whatever that means. Carbon dioxide is food for vegetation. To say it's a pollutant is supreme ignorance. Also, water vapor is the most important natural greenhouse gas. The "greenhouse effect" allows for life on Earth with a nice, warm global average temperature - whatever that means.

Yep, nobody has been able to do it yet. That's a big part of the reason that basically every space film ever made has either supposedly been in space (zero gravity), or on a planet with Earth-like gravity.

The New GM (Government Motors)
Proudly Introduces
The 2011 Obummer
This car runs on hot air, b*#l-sh&* and broken promises.
It has three wheels that speed the vehicle through tight left turns.
It comes complete with Tele Prompters to help the occupants talk their way out of any violations.
The transparent canopy reveals the plastic smiles still on the faces of all the happy owners.
Comes in S, M, L, XL and 2XL
It won’t get you to work, but hey, there aren’t any jobs anyway!

While true that water vapor is the largest contributor to the greenhouse effect...its not that simple. It is regulated by a feedback loop in the atmosphere.
Using these cars would not increase temperatures for various reasons...research it some more....from more than one source.

Sounds like they are having quite the argument over it as well. Who to believe? Well...who could possibly lose a **** load of money CURRENTLY if your theory is wrong...think about it. Plenty of propaganda from both sides though...
Anyone can find a scientist/source to make a claim for or against anything. You could probably find research as to why fruits and vegetables are bad for your health. Research both sides and then make your logical conclusion.
