Reply #62: And a huge contributor to climate change [View All]

[Lorien]

a family friend has worked in Antarctica studying climate change for over 45 years. They saw a big jump in CO2 emissions that correlated with the increase in SUV sales. I'm sure it wasn't the only reason for the sudden spike, but it did have an impact.

And "lowering their sights"? what kind of objective "journalism" is this??? The Explorer is a total piece of crap. I have quite a few friends who own or have owned one, and they've had little more than complaints about them. Most of the time the older ones are in the shop, and one friend had a horrific rollover accident in one that nearly killed her. The Prius has a great ride (MUCH more comfortable that the Explorer) and is far more environmentally and economically friendly. It's a step UP, imho.
