Carbon Silliness

Among the snow jobs we're being asked to accept--the need to control the markets, the requirement that we "fix" health care--is the canard that carbon dioxide is destroying the earth. One of the rudiments of life on this planet is threatening the planet.

To further promote this madness--whose end result is the implementation of a Cap & Trade system that is essentially a tax on living--all branches of government are being called upon to heal. This latest word from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration highlights the absurd lengths being taken to establish Killer Carbon:

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a new press release for the U.S. Department of Transportation's proposal of a new, consumer-friendly replacement tire label. The label will include, for the first time, information about the tire’s impact on fuel economy and CO2 emission reductions. It will also provide consumers with two other key pieces of tire performance information - wet weather traction and tread wear. All three ratings would be prominently displayed on a removable label attached to the replacement tire at the point of sale."

A guess this is consonant for a then presidential candidate whose energy policy was based upon making sure you have enough air in your tires.

These guys are rocket scientists.
