Fuck You Saudi Arabia

12. Proving once again that we're all in denial about global warming.

People will still be complaining about gasoline prices as our civilization is collapsing all around us.

For the record, my wife and I live in California and drive a car that gets 50 miles per gallon. You've no doubt heard about gasoline prices here. I don't commute, and gasoline is a negligible expense in our family budget.

For me, the gas situation hasn't been so good since I was a young man making $8.00 an hour and I could fill the tank of my little Toyota for less than $7.00

Wild and free, unconcerned about gasoline prices, I drove all over the U.S. American West and Northern Mexico.

At other times I had no money at all, and no working car. (Feast or famine has always been my life.)

There's a solution to this gasoline problem. We need to rebuild our cities, turning them into attractive affordable places where car ownership is unnecessary.

Then we need to ban fossil fuels entirely, replacing them with synthetic carbon neutral fuels made using nuclear power. (The United States Navy has already demonstrated one way of doing this.)

Sadly it seems we'll continue to deny that global warming is a problem, promote "solutions" to the problem that don't work, or blame the problem on someone else.
