warming not so much

 

Conspiracies of the EPA?

 

Looking at the means, sometimes wonder is the process is good or contrary.   So I question the process and means of the EPA. 

 

Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, there were serious pollution problems.  So the government formed the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, to help with America’s pollution problems.  This new agency was charged with cleaning up the air, water and ground.  Pollution standards were set and America began the process of being cleaned up.

 

At the same time the pollution cleaning began another alarm was sounded.  Global warming, was the new threat to the world and excess carbon in the air was the culprit, known as greenhouse gas.  The internal combustion engine was blamed for the major source of greenhouse gasses along with power plants. 

 

At the end of the 70’s the land was clearing up.  Cleaner air and water.  Through the 80’s, most polluting sources were gone.  The power plants were 99%+ clean and so was the internal combustion engine.

I bought a used heavy duty pick up for local deliveries.  It was a diesel, 1984, almost no black smoke from the diesel and it 35MPG around the city.  Years later, I ran across a similar Pick Up, same specifications but it now got 8mpg. 

 

So the question is…. Is it cleaner then my old truck?

 

Things to keep in mind:  laws of physics, matter can not be created or destroyed.  So a gallon of fuel will contain X amount of carbon.  This can not change. 

 

So my old pick up, every 35 miles would emit X amount of carbon.  The newer version would emit 4.1X parts of carbon.  So with new standards, the EPA is forcing the internal combustion engine to produce more carbon. Yet Carbon is blamed for causing global warming/climate change.

 

So it would appear that the EPA is forcing climate change/global warming. 

 

Across the board, the EPA has reduced the production capacity of the internal combustion engine to produce excessive amounts of carbon. 

In conclusion; who is the EPA trying to protect?

 

Is the EPA in conspiracy with the climate changers?
