And besides, we all know once we stop manufacturing here in the US, all the pollution with just go away.

As someone said before
“well then that settles it, if it’s not warm in YOUR area, then theres no global warming”

Not just my area, about half of the United States.
If you look at the OP referenced web site you will see this quote: "Meanwhile below average temperatures were present across parts of the East and South-Central U.S."

I didn't say I was against anything in that conversation regarding reducing idling times and timed lights. It was post #157. I'm pretty sure I agreed with you that moving cars are much more efficient than ones that have to stop and idle.

What I pointed out is that when our town went to timed lights and one-way streets, the town died. When they recently went back to two-way streets and non-timed lights, the town started thriving again because it's pedestrian friendly.

And, I pointed out that no one has run the numbers on how much fuel is wasted, pollution generated, etc. but it has to be around 20% or more.

yea, go ask starbucks if they will get rid of their drive thru.

this has nothing to do with anything except when i lived in scottsdale i used to count the 30 something trophy wife's in their convertible Mercedes sitting in the drive thru at Starbucks.

looked like barbie doll$.

Yep, and it’ll probably get worse as Covid shuts down more restaurants dining rooms.

local bojangles had drive thru only for a long time.

i happened across the mgr one day leaving his shift. i told him i used to own a franchise restaurant and was just curious how they were doing.

he said he can't find employees and their gross sales were up, compared to pre virus days.

i see wendy's has announced a few delivery only restaurants.

A pretty good friend has a few Burger Kings in town. Not the greatest part of town.

He said if he could (franchise agreement prohibits) he’d be 100% drive thru. Fewer employees, significantly less cleaning, no soda refills, less security issues, less utility costs.

Like you said, sales and profits spiked during the lockdown when he was forced to close the inside.

To him, Burger King is a takeout place - not somewhere to dine inside.

why would they? we got ours, they want theirs.

So we get to ruin our economy alone?

The Paris Climate Agreement looked at the issue on a per capita basis.

As a result, it says the USA is still be baddest bad guy.

So, China and the rest don’t believe they need to do as much as the USA.

In central Texas this has been one of the coolest summers I can remember. And it was one of the coldest winters on record. My backyard minimum temperature was on February 16 at 0.3˚F and the max was on July 26 at 99.5 ˚F. We will not hit 100˚ this month and probably not this year here, incredibly cool for Texas.

There's a difference between "Climate Change" and "Weather". Earth vs. Local
