So in theory a two tonne discovery where the weight of the vehicle doesn't change and the difference in power to weight of both the tdi diesel engine compared to a small petrol engine and given the short life span of the petrol engine over the 10 year life of the very successful tdi engine which would still be manufactured if not for the tree huggers emission controls but is very much alive and well in brazil and in a 2.8 litre flavour therefore must show beyond reasonable doubt that in fact the 2.0 mpi engine was indeed ****e.
I think you are right.
But remember, Global Warming is a world-wide SCAM.
It is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated in human history.
It serves two main purposes:
1. it enables governments to levy even more taxes on gullible people in the name of being green and trendy, so governments can waste more of our money by giving it to banana republics with which to buy weapons to kill each other and in some cases to kill us and our military people.
and, (and this is the REAL reason)
2. a small number of people in USA and UK and Euro-land are getting VERY VERY RICH on global warming trickery and stunts.
No-one has yet explained how extra taxes cut down so-called pollution.
What do goverments do with these extra taxes?
We (UK) are giving AID to Somalia while their government is complicit in the biggest industry in their country - PIRACY on the high seas, and taking hostages to hold to ransom for millions. I know where I would be sending our sailors and soldiers and airmen next.
We were giving aid to Pakistan flood relief, and their government lambasted us for not giving enough, while Pakistan was paying BILLIONS to buy warplanes and armaments. It was BILLIONS of our money and USA money they were spending, but they didn't have any cash to help their own people.
Remember too, when CO2 levels rise in the atmosphere, EVERY PLANT AND TREE ON THE PLANET GROWS MORE QUICKLY AND MORE STRONGLY.
So, more CO2 in the atmosphere is one way to grow more food and trees.
More food means more people will breed.
That means more starving people than ever in every year to come.
Madness.
One thing is sure - nature will sort this out, one way or another, and nature can be very cruel.
