Coming for your old car?

Quote
California is seeking information about the locations of classic cars in the state and the tendencies of their drivers after considering establishing “zero emissions zones,” according to a state survey obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) sent out the survey about light-duty vehicles made in model year 1978 or earlier on Aug. 2, seeking information from respondents about tendencies they have while using the classic vehicles, including the county in which they are primarily driven. The survey on classic cars follows a 2019 CARB draft report which suggests that the state should “provide explicit authority to local jurisdictions to create zero-emission zones” in order to combat climate change.

The survey also asks respondents to specify how many miles are registered on the odometers of their classic cars and approximate annual mileage, as well as the frequency and distance travelled of their cruises. California has the most classic car collectors of any state in the country, according to RotoWire.

A “zero emissions zone” is “an area where only zero-emission vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists are granted unrestricted access” that is intended to help counter climate change, according to The International Council on Clean Transportation.

I'd throw the survey in the circular file.

Defining a "classic car" as one built prior to 1978, I can understand why there are so many "collectors" in Calif.  Folks can't afford to replace their vehicle, so they keep the old one running.

The crazy is getting worse.

That sounds familiar. I'm sure I've heard of somewhere else where that has happened.

Lemme see ...

Halloween Pumpkins!
I knew they were evil misunderstood

After Halloween, millions of pumpkins rot in landfills and produce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. An expert tells CNN how to prevent your pumpkin from contributing to climate change.

Halloween pumpkins are an environmental nightmare. Here's an earth-friendly guide for throwing them away

I did my part by not buying a pumpkin. Or am I guilty anyway, because now someone else has to properly dispose of the pumpkin I didn't buy? If that person disposes of "my" pumpkin improperly, am I guilty of planeticide because I failed to buy a pumpkin I neither wanted nor needed, just to ensure that it would be disposed of properly?

I'm so confused ...

Here are some interesting temperature estimations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_temperature_record

As you can see, increasing the time scale to more than a couple hundred or so years makes the current variation look insignificant.

 "No climate justice on occupied lands"
Says our getting older heroine Greta Thuneberg.

( I have no idea what that means, I guess it is pro Palestinian , somehow?)

anyway, climate cultist want a pure message I think

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
