Tailpipe cap that is Legal in California:

1.BLADE reduces emissions of Particulate Material by filtering them from the exhaust stream.

2.BLADE reduces emissions and improves fuel economy by decreasing the duration of "cold start" operations.

3.BLADE decreases emissions and increases fuel economy by increasing the Volumetric Efficiency (VE) of your engine.

Yuckk! The boosters are trying to get the 'limpics to
Colorado again in the future. What stinkin' egos these people
have. I hope their wallets are big as the egos so they can
pay for 'em.

Innovative free market products, such as BLADE—an after market device that reduces tailpipe emissions, are too pragmatic for liberals, they want a grandiose save-the-polar bears type of moment.

Obamaphiles would rather force everyone to change, so they won’t have to be personally inconvenienced to make the changes they preach






Reduce your own emissions, buy a BLADE

Tami you better hop on that cash cow. Back when the limpiks were in hotlanta people were renting their houses and apartments for a small fortune. Sorta like DC recently.

The front page article in our local broadsheet paper on Friday was "Add it all up, and you'll find the Olympics is going to cost us 6 Billion (so far, anyway)"
http://www.vancouversun.com/Sports/find+Olympics+going+cost+Billion+anyway/1210053/story.html

That's $6 billion for Olympic and Olympic related projects - the governments are naturally trying to sneak in other things and claiming they're not Olympic-related. (No one is much fooled, particularly the auditor-general.) Based on the financial and other information that has been released. It seems a safe bet that:
 They're currently throwing money at projects that must be completed in the next six months, particularly the athletes' village in Vancouver, which is a financial disaster.
 The total is already much more than $6 billion.

Olympics financial and other accounting is famously opaque, but my guess is that the total will be over $10 billion.

Regarding my carbon footprint, I hope it only grows---more international travel, more roadtrips, more powder days, more cool toys..




I AM NOT A MEMBER of the CHURCH of GLOBAL WARMING



I don't care about my tailpipe emissions, but if you do believe your vehicle is "changing the climate" you should care about such things. That’s all I’m saying…

"I AM NOT A MEMBER of the CHURCH of GLOBAL WARMING"

You mean, science?

JPT, ya know, sometimes it's best not to say anything so you don't look ignorant.

I forgot. The WhisVancouver Olympics people will also undoubtedly spend a lot of effort to convince us that the whole boondoggle is 'green'. Hypocrites. They're just passing spew.

Does every scientist agree that man is altering the climate?




Just because UN scientists and media shove their Global Warming theories down our throats--does not make it 100% fact.




There is plenty of dissent within the scientific community.

The Olympics are undoubtedly altering the political, social, and economic climate around here. Probably the climate climate too - we've had a fairly cool and snowy winter, and I'm sure that must have some direct link to it.

But then, like those who say that global warming isn't largely anthropogenically caused, I could just be passing spew.

What a crock!

"Energy wave" traveling 5 times the speed of the "exhaust wave".

What kind of energy travels in waves?

Light? Well that moves about 186,000, miles per second. Sound travels 1100 FEET per second.

By the way. This product is super, really efficient (AND CURES OR PREVENTS CANCER) when combined with the natural oils of snakes.

You wanna decrease man's contribution to the climate change by limiting carbon emissions? Eat cows.

Sobriety, now theres an epidemic if I ever saw one. Can I claim that as a dissability?
