SACRAMENTO, California — The state of California will require all 2009 model and later cars to be labeled with stickers giving their global warming score, starting at the beginning of the year. The labels will rate vehicles on a scale of 1-10 — with 10 being the best and 5 an average number — based on direct emissions and emissions related to fuel production, and will let consumers make comparisons between models.

California vehicles already are given a Smog Score, in which new models are rated on a 1-10 scale for emissions. The labeling will be displayed side by side on new vehicles sold in the state. Consumers can also look up detailed information on the Drive Clean Web site.

New York can expect a similar sticker law for new models starting in 2010.

What this means to you: Environmental-impact stickers: not just for refrigerators anymore.

We should fly to California and build a giant bon fire out of a huge pile of decals. How much energy does it take to produce the stickers? Better yet, how much smog is created (probably in China) to manufacturer the stickers to tell us how "bad" the cars are?

Can we just take a giant chop saw to the fault line and shove most of the state (at least the government) into the ocean? We'll leave time for all the frraxer's to get off the soon to be island, but good lord folks, this is getting more and more absurd.

Maybe the Russian guy's right, China can have the whole state. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
