Gotta love all this talk here and the thread about the German ban on ICE. Especially when those on the "man is to blame with his CO2 emissions" side are driving around in 8 MPG RV's. Not to mention the environmental impact of camping (more like glamping) all on it's own.
Hypocrite much?
And spare me the "carbon offset" scams (like other's have said: follow the money), or how much you may have reduced at home. If one was truly concerned about man's negative effect as it relates to climate change, one would -NOT- be driving around in an RV burning through all that gas at 8 MPG. One would not be driving anywhere on long-distance trips burning all that fossil fuel to simply sight-see.
Any excuses or "bbbbbut we reduced!" are just that, excuses to mentally justify driving around in a gas-guzzling RV while at the same time, calling other people "science deniers" and whining about man's impact on the environment.
Umm!.....I don't drive around in my RV like a daily driver. I don't think most people do. Even my Excursion only sees 2-4k miles a year. And when camping we use less water and less electric than we would when we are home in a larger home. Yes we use more gas getting there, but for the short trips it is a non issue.
It`s always easier to point a finger at someone than accept natures cycle. No excuse, scientific fact! Ok maybe in the grand scheme of things man will have something to do with climate change, it may come a year or 2 earlier over a 100,000 year run, for that I apologize! :R
