NPR can be so stupid

Driving home tonight, I turned on NPR and they were doing a story on carbon dioxide and were describing how cars are adding CO2 to the atmosphere adding to global warming problem. They went on for close to 5 minutes discussing alternatives, interviewing professionals and engineers who all concluded that under current circumstances nothing can be done but one thing, and I was expected an earth shattering revelation about how the automobile industry could be doing something different and change the world. But no, the message of this piece, drive a car that gets better gas mileage. It occurred to me, duh no shit, really. I am so glad I just wasted 5 minutes of my time listening to this drivel, clearly stating the obvious.
