What happened to global warming everybody was so sure was happening? I'd be more concerned about nuclear fallout and humans killing each other rather then us destroying the planet.

edit: also a good way to minimize exhaust emissions would be to get more diesels in the US. For some reason the US has put a stigma on diesels that they're the worst thing for the environment when they are more efficient then gasoline engines. My 200hp 360ft/lbs lifted Jeep liberty CRD(2.8 straight 4 turbo diesel from vmmotori) got 25mpg, probably close to 30 if it was stock without all the off road parts.

Baby Boomers view diesel as a loud and weird looking foreign monster shooting Black Death smoke out a tail pipe. I should think younger folks would be more open minded about the benefits of diesels; afterall they're mostly European and anything European is mostly awesome to younger folks but it just ain't so for some reason.
