[BFix] SMOG Test

Tue Apr 29 17:49:40 MST 2008

Ron,  watch the movie even if you dislike Gore (like most of us) it is
worth your time.  The movie does a nice job of explaining what is going
on  in a way most people can understand.  I challenge you to watch the
movie and provide a couple of facts that clearly dispute what is
claimed....

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it is perfect but it is the best
compilation of evidence I have seen on either side of the issue.  

All of your questions below are directly addressed in the movie.....
"If the earth is falling into the global warming as he says then why
have the temps dropped across the earth?  Why are we having snow storms
at the end of April?  Why are we having "storms of the century"
happening?  Why are only the scientists that agree with him interviewed
but not the ones who disagree?" 

Regards, Tony

I agree about the part of wanting a good place for my 4 daughters to
live in the future.  But, I personally do not believe in the "global
warming myth" that is out there and I sure don't buy into anything Al
(Mr Hypocrite) Gore has to say.  He rates right up there with Rosie
O'Donnell and Michael Moore with their opinions on gun control  and the
war on terror.  His (Gores) house produces more pollution and green
house gases in a day than everything I own does in a year.  Not to
mention his private jet and all the huge SUV's that his security uses
everyday to protect him, do they get tested the same as regular tax
payers like you and I or do they get some type of immunity?   If the
earth is falling into the global warming as he says then why have the
temps dropped across the earth?  Why are we having snow storms at the
end of April?  Why are we having "storms of the century" happening?  Why
are only the scientists that agree with him interviewed but not the ones
who disagree?  If you believe in the global warming I have no problem at
all with that, then let's just agree we disagree.  I know I will bombed
with emails saying how wrong I am and all that but, it is my right to
feel and believe what I wish, the same as it is yours to do the same.  I
just cleared out all my old mail preparing for the bombing.

	It serves a very good purpose when administered correctly.
These tests help ensure air quality. The requirements vary by county and
region due to varying local air qualities.  The EPA requires certain
standards met on a national basis and it is up to the local governments
on how they choose to meet those standards. In the Portland area when
have an attainment zone that requires the "smog" checks and seasonally
reformulated fuels.

	To put it simply:  NOX is a green house gas, HC is unburned
fuel, neither of which you want in the air you breath.

	My 66' doesn't have to be tested because of it's age, but I took
it through anyway just to see how it was running. They tested it for
free, and it "passed" whatever standard they were using. 

	I recommend that everyone watch the "Inconvenient truth" no
matter what you think of Al (invented the Internet) Gore as it is
actually very well done.  I felt the documentary/movie really helps put
the global warming issue into perspective.  
	I personally would like this planet to be a nice place to live
for my daughter!

	Tony

	Can anybody tell me why they even do it at all?  Oh wait, it's
just another way to get their fingers into your piece of the pie.  I am
so glad we have nothing like that here in Florida.  I had to deal with
it in Washington and it made absolutely no sense why only certain
counties were required to do emissions testing.  When we lived in
Tacoma, we bought a 1999 Expedition (dealer demo) that had less than 6k
miles on it that failed emissions when I went to get it registered.  The
dealership couldn't find anything wrong with it and we tried it again at
another testing facility and it passed with no problems.  My 79 bronco
smoked at idle and passed the first try without any troubles.  It is a
poorly designed manipulative system that serves no purpose except to
cost the tax payers excessive money to repair the vehicles that don't
pass at "State Emissions Repair facilities"and hold them "hostage" by
not allowing the vehicles on the road until it's repaired or gets a
waiver.  My diesel didn't even have to be tested at all at the time.  I
am not sure how it works now since I have been gone from there for about
5 years, but it was a crooked system when I was there.  It's politicians
getting laws passed that really don't serve a purpose except for their
special interest group.  It's no different than the vehicle inspection
stickers that some places require.

	Ok I am off my engine block again now that I have said my 2
cents worth.

Shouldn't they be concerned w/ the displacement of the motor and what
comes out of the tailpipe?  Who cares what else you do to the motor as
long as what comes out of the tail pipe is okay...

		Thought I'd throw this out since the political debate
seems to be winding down...
