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.
So, I guess that you don't agree with my earlier post - repeated below. In what way don't you agree with it?:

IMHO, recreational vehicles of all types will never be much a part of the overall pollution problem ... there's not enough of them on a world scale. I hope they continue to get powered by natural gas or gasoline or diesel for many years to come so that we can continue to refuel everywhere with these high energy storage-per-unit sources.
To my knowledge it's the trucks, planes, ships, daily living personal vehicles, building heating/cooling equipment, eating of beef products, and deforestation that are the main concerns.
