Higher Gas Prices Are Good For The Climate

[PoliTalker]

"I know it sounds counterintuitive to say that high gas prices are a good thing. Why would high prices on anything be good? The reason is simple: Prices help shape consumer behavior in lots of areas, including clothing, food and housing. Is there any doubt that high real estate prices are partially responsible for the tiny house movement?

It's the same story for automobiles. For decades, expensive gasoline has forced many European and Asian drivers to seek out the most fuel-efficient cars they can find. As a result, small, fun, fuel-sipping cars such as the MINI Cooper have become popular.

But it's more than just vehicle popularity, because high gas prices seem to have created a certain mindset too. Outside the U.S., there seems to be a car-buying philosophy of "I want the smallest car that makes sense for me." In the U.S., the philosophy is more like "What's the largest car I can afford?"

Changing Attitudes

That mindset is changing. Although Americans have enjoyed relatively low gas prices for a while now, the big price spikes of the recent past, combined with a lingering fear that prices might eventually rise beyond $5 per gallon, have changed the kind of cars that Americans buy. It's as if high gas prices forced shoppers to give fuel-sipping cars a second chance, and many people like what they're seeing.

Automakers are responding to this shift by offering more high-quality small cars. Compact cars and SUVs such as the Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax, Ford Fiesta, Honda HR-V, Honda Fit, Mazda CX-3 and Land Rover Discovery Sport are redefining just how good a small car can be. For instance, sales of the Buick Encore are up by 60 percent compared with this time last year."

No pain, no gain! So yeah. Pain at the pump results in gain on the climate battle.

Before gas prices shot up, used electric vehicles were plentiful. Now you can't hardly find one. If you do, the price is high.

More people driving electric cars is good for the climate.

Higher Gas Prices Are Good For The Climate

I hope Democrats use this meme for the November mid-terms. I wish you could be their political advisor. This one has to be a winner.

This dopey old trollop pulls a 7 year old Huff Po article out of her arse, you just can't make that up!!

I wish he was advising the DNC. I would love them to run an add that basically says, "let them eat cake!"

So is the reduction in CO2. Stop breathing you buffoon.

Man caused climate change is a HOAX. There is little science behind it. I will summarize the reasons why once again:


Below is the composition of air in percent by volume, at sea level at 15 C.

Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%
Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%
Neon -- Ne -- 0.001818%
Methane -- CH4 -- 0.0002%
Helium -- He -- 0.000524%
Krypton -- Kr -- 0.000114%
Hydrogen -- H2 -- 0.00005%
Xenon -- Xe -- 0.0000087%
Ozone -- O3 -- 0.000007%
Nitrogen Dioxide -- NO2 -- 0.000002%
Iodine -- I2 -- 0.000001%
Carbon Monoxide -- CO -- trace
Ammonia -- NH3 – trace

https://www.thoughtco.com/chemical-composition-of-air-604288

29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 2 to 3% of that area. Of the remaining land mass, about 40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas.

https://www.answers.com/Q/What_percentage_of_land_on_earth_is_dominated_by_humans

The notion that man is causing the planet to heat up based on CO2 that amounts to 0.0314% of the gas in oxygen and less than 3% of the land can only be believed by morons.

Maybe this will cause more people to adjust their driving habits.

Drive less. Plan multi tasking trips to reduce driving. Accelerate more gradually. Coast more. Learn to time the signals. Park quickly nearer the street entrance. Walk further to the door.

Saves gas, saves money, saves the climate, saves the brakes, saves the tires.

Hello archives,

No doubt, but the good ole boys aren’t going to ever give up their F250 Duallies, along with their guns, it defines them, down the road America is going to pay the price for not investing in mass transit

Oh, we'll do mass transit. I think there will be high speed trains in America's future. Really slick cool ones we can be proud of. It always takes a while for a progressive idea to sink in, but eventually they get it and even claim it was their idea!

Ok, let me ask this. If it’s simply the good ole boys who are the problem then why does a City like LA, which voting wise is very progressive and thinks climate change is an existential threat, have such a car culture that fights against many mass transit issues and most people refuse to take mass transit?

Volvo says manufacturing an EV generates 70% more emissions than its ICE counterpart


Electric vehicles (EVs) have always been championed as the best solution to save our polar bears, but according to a new study published by Volvo, manufacturing an EV actually generates up to 70% more carbon emissions as compared to the good ol’ internal combustion engine (ICE) car.
