Is this the beginning of the end for catless products [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

When I was in grade school they told us we were heading into another ice age. When that didn't happen they told us we were warming at a pace that would put coastal cities under water in the year 2000. When that didn't happen they just called it climate change.

They can't predict the weather 2 weeks out and you expect me to believe they can predict what the climate will be like in 50 years.

Only 600 horse, lol. Back in the day, that was a lot, heck 400whp made you a contender. Today's modern technology has made hitting 600hp easy.

I know people who work for Environment Canada and they actually can only predict weather one day in advance. Anything after that is predicted off of “trends”.
Considering we go through cold snaps of -30C every winter, bring on global warming. (Just joking)
Conspiracy theory spoiler : The problem is the world is over populated. Maybe instead of cracking down on air pollution, they crack down on population. Wait a minute, maybe thats what the last year has been about. LOL !! Things that make you go hmmmm !

600 hp is easy with cats. And a movie about critical resource shortage lol. Not sayin, just sayin.

That car was based off a 74, cats didn't come out until 75.

Just like with animals, overpopulation and not enough predators leads to starvation and or disease and since starvation is kind of out....

World war 3 will take place way before the so called eco apocalypse. After that they’re wont be enough people left to excute a green strategy to clean up all the left over radiation..It’s down right arrogant to think we can clean up the planet when we cant unf$&ck ourselves from killing each other to the point of total annihilation!

It's almost like climate science has been a difficult and evolving field, imagine that. I can't help but laugh when people think we can just emit gigatons of carbon every single year with literally zero repercussion from it. I obviously don't really care (if I did I'd be driving a Prius), but it's not hard to see how the trends we're starting to observe are negative for the ecosystem (that we still depend on to a large extent). Burying your head in the sand about it or just waving it away as "lol the earth does this all the time" doesn't change the realities that it will bring us. Like much more common extreme weather. I mean just look at the Texas deep freeze. Overly warm air from Europe caused that one after it sunk the polar vortex which caused the entire troposphere to destabilize in a corridor over the middle of the US. Stuff like that is not gonna just stop happening. It's only going to get worse. Warmer air means stronger and more frequent hurricanes, tornadoes, fires (Just look at California this last year), and floods. We've entered the wrestling ring with mother nature and we're going to get beaten down with a chair over and over to massive expense. It's not even alarmist either, its something anyone can observe over time.

You can accuse me of "drinking the kool aid", but as I said, I don't really care. I had nothing to do with industrialized society existing, I just benefit from it. So I'm gonna keep burning excess fuel and eating meat and whatever else is bad while I can.

I remember that article too. I actually read it while waiting to see the doctor in their waiting room. Now the media claim it was a "sensationalized" piece. So what are we to believe? Either they were lying then. Or they are lying now. Either way the media are liars and not to be trusted. That said we should all within reason do our part to ensure our children and grandchildren have a healthy environment to grow up in. To me catalytic converters are a small price to pay for cleaner air.

I just want to take a second to point out that, on page 6, there's an argument between two people with the usernames of TexasMetallic and Whitest Russian. I love the internet.

I've been kidding around that covid is the Earth's way of trying to get rid of humans. Humans fit the bill of a deadly virus to the planet. I think there's a actually a movie about this but I can't remember much about it.

It blows my mind on how many tree huggers are on this forum, but yet you drive a mustang that gets horrible MPG.
You can't have it both ways by saying removing cats is bad, but yet drive a car with terrible mileage.

You're trying to make this an either-or, all-or-nothing matter. It's not. There's plenty of room in the middle for being at least moderately concerned about the environment combined with a desire for somewhat stronger vehicle performance.

It is pretty obvious we can have clean air and fun too. But many in the powers that be don't want us having any fun.

 

[garagelogic]

I mean, modern converters are hardly the bottleneck in the exhaust they used to be, so what's the big deal?

They just turn into a bottlecap for some when they melt lol

Exactly and who knows what will happen when they melt. I look at it like insurance, same as changing out the oil pump gears and crank sprocket.
