Climate and Weather

A huge amount. Look at any footage of LA in the 60s and 70s where you can’t see the mountains ringing the city. Then look from the 90s to today and it’s 10 times clearer. As kids we had several days a year when you were told not to play outdoors and/or it hurt to inhale after a day of outdoor play. No such thing since the 80s.
But it's still unacceptable?
 
More on Moore -- in 2015, he was asked by a reporter about the safety of Monsato's Roundup weedkiller. Moore said that one could drink a quart of it without harm, but refused to drink a small glass of it when offered by the reporter. "I'm not stupid," he said.

Fake news

Correction: The original version of this story identified Moore as a paid lobbyist for Monsanto. In a statement published Friday, Monsanto said Moore “is not and never has been a paid lobbyist for Monsanto.”
 
Tell us about your coughing spells again.

Apparently your education is deficient in more than just arithmetic. Here is some homework for you --

So he didn't say it was safe to drink a quart of it?
 
Hey Sunshine...I'm more then happy to watch you make an ass out of yourself....


A new poll shows support for the impeachment of President Trump has declined since public hearings have started.
The Emerson poll released Thursday found support for impeachment has dropped from 48% to 43% since October, while opposition to impeachment has risen from 44% to 45%.

Independents are key in the shift, with 49% opposing impeachment and only 34% supporting impeachment. In October, 48% of independents supported impeachment and 39% opposed.
The poll also showed Trump's approval rating rising to a net positive. Forty-eight percent approved of the president while 47% disapproved. His approval rating was only 43% a month ago.

And while I would love to play your game of "guess what this is" I prefer to play the game on the Queen Mary... Crash and Burn loser!!!! All three of you!!! LOL!!!!

You haven't heard about the hearings this week? Or are you just ignoring them?

My education notices the conundrum that you people wallow in.
 
How much older? How "largely"?

A lady I used to work with in the 80's drove an ancient beast of station wagon. She had gotten the car and custody of four kids in a divorce settlement. While helping her with some parking lot repairs one night after work (changing the thermostat, if I remember correctly) I asked her why she didn't get something newer. She said that the amount she could get on a trade-in wasn't enough for her to afford a new car big enough for her family.

The State ARB eventually solved her problem. First they rented her car from her, allegedly to measure its emissions in a controlled set of driving tests, and loaned her a newer car of similar size while they were doing it. Eventually they offered her a big sum of money for it which allowed her to get the newer cleaner car she really wanted. The ARB sent the old one to the crusher. That was a direct and financially efficient way of reducing air pollution at the source.

When I first moved to California in 1970, I bought a used 1960 VW Beetle. There were no emissions controls of any kind other than the fact that it had better than average fuel efficiency compared to cars of that time (20/24 MPG city/highway). Later that year I bought a new 1971 VW Beetle with my re-enlistment bonus money. It had all kinds of improvements - a sealed gas tank, a PCV valve, and a simple mechanical device that reduced hydrocarbon emissions when idling and accelerating,. There was no biennial smog test required then, but the CHP randomly set up roadside test points where they would inspect that the emissions control devices had not been removed or altered and would measure the tailpipe emissions. A new law allowed any police officer to issue a ticket to the driver of a vehicle with visible smoke coming from the tailpipe - the "Cheapy Smoker Law" a policeman friend of me called it.

Now you can't buy a gasoline-powered personal car that doesn't have a catalytic converter and an engine computer that has as part of its program reduction in emissions.

Where have you been living over that time?

Smokey vehicles - anybody can report it --
