Making a statement like this is proof of how naive our population has become.

Let me point out a few things.

When it comes to automotive emissions, we have made incredible progress. When we began doing emission testing, we used machines that sampled exhaust gases and provided results in the form of parts per million of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. These exhaust gas analyzers were very sensitive machines and were also useful in diagnosing driveability problems. Measuring automotive emissions began to require more and more sensitive machines until it became impractical to continue to try to measure automotive emissions due to their being so low that measuring equipment in every shop was simply too expensive. EPA mandated the OBD-II systems to try to overcome some of this. There was a lapse in emission testing. Now, it has been determined that if a vehicle passes its own self test, it is deemed to be operating properly and without excessive emissions.

Fast forward to today. We live in the cleanest place on earth. Compared to any other industrialized nation, our emissions are the lowest. Yet, we are continually being harassed to reduce, reduce, reduce. Meanwhile, our west coast suffers from the migration of pollution coming across the ocean from the far east, but we get the blame and are told that we must reduce our emissions to clean it up.

One thing I can say about this whole "saving the planet" mentality is that WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like it or not, it will take the cooperation of the entire planet including China, India, and southeast Asia. Sissy one-sided agreements like the Paris accords just won't do the job.

So, if you think that your car turning itself off at stoplights will save the planet, lotsa luck with that one.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
