You are correct ...there is no climate change. It's a Marxist idea that this is prevalent.

In the 60's it was oil will be depleted.

In the 70's, another ice age in 10 years.

In the 80's acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years.

In the 90's the ozone layer will be destroyed in 10 years.

2000's, ice caps would be gone in 10 years.

None of these happened. Just more regulation and taxation.

Besides, why would the Obama's buy a house on the waterfront in Martha's Vineyard?

You need to watch a video of George Carlin on climate. Then you'll laugh that he has a point ....

For New England weather, nothing beats an Outback unless you go for more detailed dedicated 4-wheel drive Jeep/Pickup.

The biggest drawback for the Outback is the CVT transmission. Not a great transmission and you got to get used to the way it drives.

The Nokian tires that are the most aggressive dedicated snows are the Hakkapeliitta normally for SUV's. I believe they make some for cars too.

Bridgestone Blizzak or Michelin X-Ice tires are excellent for cars.

Put whichever tires on spare wheels so you use them only for winter to extend their life and switch back to all-weather tires or the multi season with the three peak winter snowflake tires.

Remember, winter tires have a softer more forgiving rubber, they wear faster once the snow is gone, so use them strickly on snow or they will wear out quickly.

Maybe invest in a Subaru Outback or Forester in the future..The type of 4-wheel drive Subaru uses is different than other 4 -wheel style cars/SUV's.

The Outback has been known for its ability to deal with all kinds of snow and ice. I drive one for work purposes and yes they are that good.

But, as the saying goes...."it's the nut that holds the wheel" when operating in poor weather conditions.

You could also use temporary chain-style straps that have metal plates to grip ice. They can be left in your trunk until things get real bad and you MUST go.

Learn how to install/deinstall them so you are prepared.

Look for the mountain peak icon on the tires.

Besides that, one of the best winter tires are made by Nokian.

Just be smart to know when to drive and when not to.

And, when you do, take your time, keep a great distance from other cars.

Front wheel drive tends to "plow" when in bad snow, so just use your head on if it warrants driving or not and the urgency.

It's not "climate change". Again, it's known as WEATHER. It changes from year to year, decades to decades, centuries to centuries.

The earth has gone through volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, we've only been industrial for 200 years.

Give it a rest and stop reading the propaganda.....

Next, you're gonna tell us about "green energy" to "stop climate change".....which is laughable...

Yeah, everything is about some deranged idiot who somehow got their hands on a firearm. Maybe stop the establishment of drugging people with mental issues and find the root cause, lock up firearms from anyone who is unstable.

Next you'll be bitching about the fatalities caused by a car or truck.

Which, by the way are NOT a constitutional right, but a privilege.

Oh no, guns... Oh wait, isn't there something about "arm" somewhere?

Let me see ..gee, I know I heard it from something important

Oh I got it...In the Constitution...the Second Amendment.

And the phrase "shall not be infringed" is in that Amendment.

Therefore, the Republican Senators of the State of Connecticut are asking the Governor of the state to follow the Constitutional law of the United States.

If it went to SCOTUS, the Republicans would win. See rulling on restrictive firearms laws in New York that were unconstitutional.
