I liked one comment on that article. Someone suggested that these people not use their cars on Shabbos -- which will save far more in emissions and create a kiddush Hashem (a sanctification of God's name)... But I guess they don't think logically, or they'd already have figured that out.
For goodness sakes, why go after Judaism (or Christianity)? Why not urge people to light one less cigarette instead? Or go after deisel and gas companies to get them to make cleaner fuel?
