You get a bit sick of it when everyone goes on about one side of the argument, passed off as independent evidence, yet anyone expressing a different opinion is 'sponsored by the oil companies' rather than allowed their say so we could actually make our own minds up.

You work for Esso?
Please dont put words in my mouth mate, I never said all evidence from one side of the argument was oil company sponsored, but if you think a chunk of it aint you're deluded. Sure there's as much extreme rubbish coming from the tree huggers, what I was saying was I dont agree when people read the evidence they'd LIKE to believe then bury their head in the sand and say its nothing to do with us!
DCM sums it up pretty well there, its about balance. To carry on as we are (not just with car emmissions, I'm talking more generic) then do nothing to redress the balance is just dumb. Any little helps, cue attempts at humour about recycling donkey farts or something. Its just about forming an opinion about something based on as much evidence as you can. We dont have to dismiss any green issues out of hand to prove what cool petrol heads we are.
I aint no bleedin heart liberal, and I loved my mates V8, and in the right the place I love speed. I just think people who totally deny any culpability are as daft as those chaining themselves to a bush wearing jumper made from knitted hemp.
What do I know though!
