Maybe they did see Algore's movie but talked to scientists.
I wonder if man has made the same global warming on Mars
because of the two battery powered rovers.

RE: new laww in illinois no more emission testing
But beginning Thursday, changes regarding the testing program went into effect.
Vehicle emission test notices will no longer be sent to owners with 1995 and older model vehicles that have a current vehicle emissions compliance certificate with an expiration date after January 2007.
This is in part due to the changes recently made to the Vehicle Emission Inspection Law, announced by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA).
The changes to the law were passed by the Illinois General Assembly in August 2005.
The new law will effect the northeastern section of the state and also the Metro-East region.
Now, vehicles that fit these requirements will automatically receive exempt status.
However, it is noted that owners of 1995 and older model year vehicles that have not yet passed their most recent emissions tests or received a waiver will still be required to test their vehicles. [:@](Just got mine like 6 months ago)
Also, those vehicles that have not yet passed their most recent test cycle will receive an idle exhaust test and a gas cap test.
As for newer vehicles, the emissions testing program will continue to test 1996 and newer model year vehicles.
Along with several sections of the Chicago region, a majority of the western half of Madison and St. Clair counties and northern tip of Monroe County will be included in this testing.
The IEPA noted that boundary lines for these test requirements are determined by zip code, not by county or municipality boundaries.
The testing for 1996 and new models will now be completed by using the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) test.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now required all light duty vehicles to be equipped with new OBD systems starting in 1996.
OBD systems monitor emissions-related components for malfunctions and/or deterioration.
If the system indicates these conditions, then the vehicle's "Check Engine" light will be activated.
Moreover, the system provides information that it has stored that can be retrieved for the Vehicle Emissions Test Program and thus takes the place of performing the current tailpipe and gas cap tests.
Vehicles with OBD systems are increasing.
An estimated 75 percent of the vehicles on the road are now a 1996 vehicle or newer model and thus have the required system.
It is expected that the number of vehicles with this system will be at about 95 percent in 2012.
The vehicle emission testing is an essential tool in reducing air pollution in these regions with high automobile and truck traffic.
These two gasoline powered vehicles are one of the single greatest sources of air pollution.
For more information or questions regarding the exemption status of your vehicle, contact the IEPA at 847-758-3400 or 217-785-7449.
