[Photo from wired.com]I suppose if you've worked as a high mucky-muck for General Motors for lots of years, you have to feel at least a little bit responsible for the clouds of impending doom hanging over the GM banner. But Lutz still isn't ready to accept the fact that maybe, perhaps, what's good for GM isn't necessarily good for the country.
When Lutz is not telling Toyota to "bring it on," he's pontificating about global warming. Not too long ago, he called global warming "a total crock of shit." He's excited about GM's new electric Volt, not because he's concerned about global warming, but because the Volt may help rid our country of dependence upon foreign oil.
Lutz, for some reason, walks with the flat-earth people relative to global warming. He calls the Union of Concerned Scientists a "joke group," claiming that almost none of them have a science degree.
So what does cause global warming? Sierra magazine writes that Lutz believes it is caused by "sunspots or some other cosmic juju.
"'I accept that the planet is heated," said Lutz, "but I, like many noted scientists, don't believe in the CO2 theory." As to his claim that humanmade global warming is a "total crock," he also claimed that "32,000 of the world's leading scientists" agree with him.
Oh boy. What a crock that is!
Bob Lutz provides a good example as to why General Motors is sliding down the slippery slope of irrelevance to oblivion.

Have you noticed the United States has shifted away from manufacturing and toward services? In other words, we don't toil with our hands to produce wealth like we once did, we shine shoes.
We've reached the point wherein we don't create wealth, we transfer it. Look at the wealth being generated in China. Can you guess what they're doing with their time to generate such wealth? If you think "manufacturing durable goods", then there may be hope for you. Remember the economic booms of Japan? How did they do it? First it was clothes, then it was electronics, now it's cars: They're manufacturing durable goods.
Global warming is just another diversion for the "ruling" class to force money out of the pockets of the masses by writ of law and by fraud; by authority rather than reason. Otherwise, the global warming context is, indeed, "a crock of shit".
Anon. The first part of your comment makes some sense and I largely agree with it.
But, how exactly does the "ruling" class use global warming to take money from the masses?
And do you really believe that the science proving the reality of Global Warming is faulty?
Please!

Define the “ruling classes”. I doubt if there is such a thing in the USA
