If you don't believe in Evolution, then why do you drive an SUV?

Yep, you must attend "SUV Anonymous," and promise to ride a bicycle,
at least when you go to church.

Like how many?

It's just a fear the system plants on you. It doesn't have to be real
though. Just enough so people give up bicycles and buy SUVs.

Didn't know sheep voted.

What sort of bribes do the sheep get from the lions?
Extra grazing privileges? *A higher percentage of

The sheep provide good consumers, which keeps the Hungry Lion happy.

Well the sheep aren't actually happy, but they like suffering as a
sort of highway to heaven.

"HAPPY PEOPLE IS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS"

In a consumeristic society the more people get sick, suffer, die, the
better it's for business.

For example, people who can't ride bikes in dangerous traffic become
couch potatoes, who soon become sick, then suffer and finally die. You
can see it everywhe THE JUNK FOOD INDUSTRY getting kids addicted to
sweet, unhealthy stuff; THE ACCIDENT INDUSTRY that keeps people buying
ever bigger SUVs; THE WAR INDUSTRY that keeps conflicts among ethnics
and religions; THE OIL INDUSTRY that keeps adding to Global Warming as
if there were no tomorrow (there isn't, thanks to them); THE
HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY that benefits from sickness, obesity and mental
anxiety; THE RELIGIOUS INDUSTRY that makes sure you live in fear of a
loving God; and finally THE FUNERAL INDUSTRY that makes sure nothing
gets wasted.

I think I read that during the Carboniferous period that
the earth was as hot as it has ever been.

ISTR that one of the reasons was due to large amounts of
water vapor in the air (volcanoes? geothermal activity?).
Can't remember what the source of it was. Maybe just
evaporation from oceans.

At any rate, the air can be very heavily saturated with
water without it raining, or without rain clearing up
the humidity. Check out many of the tropical locations
of the world where heavy rains don't lessen humidity.

From:

http://www.wxdude.com/humidity.html

Air can only hold 100% relative humidity. For rain the 100% relative
humidity is at the altitude where the rain is coming from, not the ground
where the humidity gage is normally. It takes some time for the 100%
humidity "mist" to form into drops which fall as rain. There are cases
where there can be super cooled water being more than 100%, but that is
rare.

So for all practical purposes vapor is not going to do much to increase
global warming because it will precipitate out as rain when it reaches 100%
humidity at some place in the atmosphere. Since we get rain now, the air is
often saturated at some place with the maximum moisture it can hold.

The American psyche is something that the rest of the world doesn't
understand. It's a sort of vaudeville with SUVs and guns. A farse with
yellow ribbons...

Perhaps SUVs are actually doing Earth a favor?
