More Science Please…

Yesterday, a news story broke about a Washington State Representative who favors adding a “transportation tax” on the sales of bicycles because “bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride”.  His rationale is that because we exhale CO2, we’re polluters.  Well, yes, but apparently .01% as much as a car.

Can we please elect representatives that have at least a basic understanding of science?

Also, if you read the article, I think we pay for roads with taxes, not by driving cars on them..

 

Is it Monday yet?

    Yet another problem solved by the zombie apocalypse. No more breathing means no more CO2.
