News Update 3: Honda is betting that the future is in fuel cells, and is starting production of 200 FCX Clarity hydrogen-powered cars that will emit only water vapor (which by-the-way is also a heat-trapping gas, but stays in the atmosphere a much shorter time than carbon dioxide and does less damage.) The auto company announced actress Jamie Lee Curtis will be among the first of the 200 drivers, who will lease the new cars for $600 a month for 3 years. The FCX can run about 270 miles before it needs refueling, which of course brings up the main drawback. There aren’t many (if any) refueling stations around, though one is being built near the LA airport. Honda has one solution to that problem – a home energy station that generates hydrogen from natural gas and can also heat and cool the home. To see the car and learn more, go to the Honda Web site.

Oh great!
So, we swap an extremely minor greenhouse gas (CO2) for the greenhouse gas (water vapor) which ALL scientists KNOW is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the “greenhouse effect”. BRILLIANT!
“water vapor… does less damage”?
REALLY?
If so, why are ALL of the IPCC computer models FORCED to fantasize about an imaginary water vapor feedback mechanism in order to even arrive at the modest prediction of 7” to 23” of sea level increase by 2100?
Scientifically illiterate political activists have a long history of ignoring science and, at BEST, blinding themselves to unintended consequences in the blind and fanatical quest to achieve a self-serving, emotion driven political agenda.
Welcome to the club!
Maybe if we swap to Fuel Cell vehicles, we can create some REAL Man Made Global Warming! Then (maybe) you can have something REAL to worry about. Won’t that be nice.
