“Anti-environmentalists have found a new medium for exhausting their anger: exhaust. Literally.
Some truck enthusiasts are intentionally producing copious amounts of diesel exhaust, spewing black smoke into the air as a form of political protest. It’s called “rolling coal.” Vocativ covered the subculture in an article last month, reporting “coal rollers” can spend thousands of dollars altering their rides to produce ever greater amounts of smoke.” *

Today, it is less difficult than it used to be to learn something. Just take the pain to google; move couple fingers, sit back and read.

Libertarians are not hypocrites about environmental issues as many people are. Libertarians address them properly and by their really names. We do have a planetary pollution problem that could affect among many things, the climate. We also want to fully understand all the parameters of the changing climate. But it is really dubious to give the issue the pompous name of ‘Global Warming’ in order to bring about a “carbon tax” that has no intent to reduce any pollution except allowing those who can pay more to pollute more. I think we just fought a similar issue with Net Neutrality. As Libertarians properly say, among measures, pollution issues could be easily addressed through property rights. You have not right to pollute others’ properties, federal properties or common ressources as the air and waters; and it doesn’t matter how much money you are willing to pay for – even if Liberals or conservatives would happily accept your money. CARBON TAX, just another LIBERAL RACKET!!!!!

Lol!!!! This is one of the most childish eight minutes I ever witness in the news. Not even up to the standard of Foxnews. Are you guys really into news or, elementary school word wars and bullies or cat fights. You seem to be really expert in that.
Libertarians perfectly understand that liberals and conservatives are still at a teenage state when it comes to maturity and personal responsibility and are patient enough to walk at their pace and give them time to grow.
This story has the classic Anna’s signature. She surely shares the blame with Cenk that is happily partaking in. Just an emotional presentation with an attempted appeal to reason on a story that is at least a week old. This coal rollers are certainly dumb but spending eight minutes on this story is just as stupid as what they are doing. This is just an emotional pollution over the internet. You are becoming the coal rollers of the net now, lol!!!!! Instead of mixing your political views to the issue, just appeal to the department of motor vehicle and authorities. Those cars might not even be legal to be on the road in first place. This has nothing to do with any political party affiliation. There are stupids everywhere. Or unless you have any proof that a particular political party proudly claim those coal rollers and their practices. One trait of character of smart people is a consistency in the application of their principles in any situation. I hope that you are really smart enough to understand that it is not OK to bomb kids in East Ukraine as much as it is not to punch repeatedly a human being on the head in the US.
