Fisrtly, of course, this is an utter load of rubbish as the comparatively miniscule emissions savings wont make the blindest bit of difference, even if global warming is anthropogenic (our big word for the day). Besides which the idea that if motorists are taxed until their pockets bleed then they will use public transport instead just doesn't hold up. Why? Because at the same time as raising car taxes, train and bus fares have also increased!
Even if this were not the case nobody in their right mind would take a bus over a car, or could for that matter. For it to be as convenient there would have to be a bus service from outer Timbucktoo to BFE 57 times a day and never mind the people that want to go to Denver for the day to visit auntie Mabel. It's just not going to happen.
So leave your lights on, wash your clothes 2 degrees higher than you're told to, for the love of God don't drive a diesel and use your car as often as possible, even when there's no real need to. Burn fossil fuels in your back garden. Just because you can.
Whatever you do though, don't buy a Land Rover if you live in a city. You just look like a prat.

Rant for the Day...
I am bored, so here it is, my rant for the day. This should spark debat hehe
Everybody is going to die. And it's all your fault. That's right, you. Because you drive a car, you are driven in a car or you have used aeroplanes. Also, your leaving on of lights is destroying the world as we know it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this from some holier-than-thou positionI'm just as guilty so I'm told. In order to stop the ugly beast of Global Warming in its tracks everyone has decided that the answer is less road travel, or at least that roads should only be travelled in the automotive equivalent of an asthmatic tortoise.

By riding bikes, walking, or taking trains we could reduce global warming. But the US infrastructure runs on OIL, and it runs better on cheap oil.
Also, China and India are becoming industrial powerhouses with factories sprouting up everywhere. Those factories need to be powered by the cheapest source of fuel available: COAL. Also, most US power plants are fueled by coal.
So, lots of dirt coal getting pumped into the atmosphere, lots of oil being burned = global warming. Problem: you can't just shut down the economy. You have to develop cheap, renewable energy. Whoever figures it out is going to be very wealthy.

Buying a Prius doesn't make you green or an environmental hero it just makes you trendy. Get an old VW bug and turn it into a Bio Diesel machine. Reuse your ziplock baggies by washing them out, Stop using those styrofoam cups and bring a mug with you to work for your coffee everyday.
Then you will be a true Environmental Hero or Heroine!
