While I do agree with the need for more efficient milage in USA/Canada/World fleets, the UTILITY VEHICLE [as pick-ups are called] are a necessity for many tradesman, farmers and off-highway workers. Such vehicles are also needed by people of my hight, for I can not even get behind the steering wheel of many usa/japan designed cars. On the otherhand, I can not see the usefulness of Hummies, lartge 4x4-s for city drivers, etc. I do have an argument with those who pick on Pick-up trucks /small vans constantly.

No people live there do they? There is no scientific proof that global warming is caused by people. CO2 is released in many forms naturally from the Earth including volcanic gases. Carbon dioxide alone attributes to less than 12% of the Earths greenhouse effect Venus has the same problem, the “greenhouse effect” caused by CO2. No people live there do they?
