Even you don't believe this stupid shite.

Do you think China is going to slow down its economy because of the environment?

Do you think India is going to pause pulling billions out of poverty in order appease shite libs in the US?

eta. btw the US has reduced its carbon emissions by over 20% since the year 2000.

Your precious nanny government never "led the way" except in wartime.

America was made great by individuals following their dreams, not government mandates..

Guess who this hurts most? Those poor you pretend to care about.

This is another battle in the war on affordability. Let's tack on 10 to 20k on the cost of a new vehicle with expensive systems to meet those standards and tell everyone its great because they can save a few dollars on gas.

New vehicles are already approaching not being affordable for the middle and lower class so let's have the government raise prices higher. Meanwhile these changes wont do shite compared to the carbon output of other countries that dont give a damn. Ridiculous.

They want everyone to reply on public transportation. They don't want us to own our own vehicles. They know it'll drive prices up but it's by design

We are leading by example, how to be really fricking stupid. Surprisingly, all the smart countries just aren’t following our example… DRATS

Gtfo out of here with moronic platitudes.

The Co2 levels haven’t been continually this high in 15 millions years, but even if we get 10000mpg it’s too late to help anything at this point.

Maybe the ET’s flying around in all these UFO’s can gift us some advanced carbon fixing technology.

India is burning literal shite and tires for electricity, I’m sure by us over-regulating our economy, they will stop doing that.

See this is the kind of shite where you guys should just say, “frick, I don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll let the grown ups handle this”.

Please tell me you are joking about CO2 levels.

That is the sort of garbage that makes dumb people believe that global warming is actually an issue.

Is this Administration clueless on everything?
Do they realize 2026 vehicles are already designed and tested? It's not like there's some magical MPG adjustment bolt that needs to be turned up to 40 mpg and all will be ok.
There's a lot of design, testing, etc that has to go into making a quality and not to mention safe vehicle.
