I am no more the government than you are. We both have our votes. No one is going to try to take your car away. Drive it as long as you like. The government will exercise its control by phasing in both restrictions and subsidies on what you can buy or bring in to the US. The same will happen with your appliances and with the sources of the electricity coming out of your wall sockets. Just as you can no longer buy leaded paint for your home or a new car lacking seat belts or dangerous cribs for your infant or thalidomide for your prenatal nausea or a thousand other things that the government has banned from sale, at some point in the not too distant future, no one in the US will be allowed to sell you an automobile that runs on fossil fuels and emits carbon dioxide. So, enjoy that Toyota while you can. Mine have all run for ages. I'm driving one now and it may well be the last car I ever own.You can have my keys to my Toyota, and my right to fly wherever in the world I wish to fly...... over my dead body. I'm not giving these things up so you can try to 'fix' the weather.
