L.A. mayor climbs on bike, gets hit by taxi, gets hit by bike-bloggers | Grist
After taking heat for lack of bike-infrastructure support -- what mayor doesn't get flack for this? -- Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villariagosa climbed on a bike for the first time in years last Saturday for a ride to the beach. Within 30 minutes a taxi driver pulled out in front of him on Venice Boulevard, knocking the mayor to the pavement. He hit his head -- he was wearing a helmet -- and broke his right elbow.Antonio Villaraigosa: Bikes Belong On LA's Streets
The security officer trailing him in a car took the mayor to a hospital, where the broken elbow required surgery.
...
Then he let the taxi driver off by declining to press charges: "He was very concerned when he realized it was me," the mayor said.
If there's one thing everyone now knows after my recent accident, it's that I like to bike in Los Angeles.Flashback: Mayor Villaraigosa Comes Out Swinging Against AB 32 Repeal
"We are currently in the midst of a global climate change crisis that is not only a threat to our environment, but our economic and job markets as well,” Mayor Villaraigosa said.Flashback: Antonio Villaraigosa: Al Gore Endorses Carbon Reduction Surcharge
This afternoon, former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Los Angeles' green energy plan, the Carbon Reduction Surcharge, calling it "one of the most forward-thinking clean energy plans" he has ever seen.
To have someone of his stature endorse this plan means a great deal.

Open letter to Al Gore.
Dear Sir,
You should be ashamed of yourself for propagating an alarmist theory which has no base in reality whatsoever.
Because of irresponsible people like you, some children don`t want to do their home work or even go to school, because "what is the point, we are all going to die soon from global warming"!
Millions of children allover the world from kindergarden to highschools and universities have been brain washed by your shameless propaganda,to the point that they feel their very lives are putting the planet in danger.
But people have already waken up and see this whole thing for what it is, meaning a total fraud, an international effort of power and money grabbing based on the marxist concept of "wealth redistribution".
On April 28 1975 Time magazine had on its front cover the title GLOBAL COOLING!!, with an article, signed by climate scientists, concluding that the Earth is cooling to the point it will all be covered in ice and all living creatures will die of freezing.
After a few years, when it obviously turned out that such a theory was nonsense, the so called climate scientists, in their quest for government grants, have invented a new fantasy, that of global warming......the world is warming due to us, human beings and we are all going to die unless we give up all of our liberties to one big world government which is going to regulate every single aspect of our lives, how many times to flush our toilets, what kind of cars to drive, where, for what reason and how far, how many children to have , what kind of food to eat, etc.
In 1992 Al Gore said that "the time for a debate is over, the science is settled".....
This obviously is a lie for the time for a debate is never over and the science is far from being settled.
Science my dear sir, does not work as a democracy , meaning that in science, the majority does not rule as it does in a democracy.
If 1000 scientists have a debate and 999 of them agree on the subject, but only one of them disagree, it may very well turn out , as it has so many times in history, that the lone scientist is the only one that is right.
I could give you many examples, such as that of Charles Darwin.
When he first presented his theory of the evolution of species, all the scientists laughed at him and ridiculed him...in the end he was right and they were wrong.
When Galileo said the Earth is spinning, the rest of the scientists accused him of heresy...but it turned out he was right and they were all wrong.
After 15 years of advancing a false theory based on fraudulent data, the "scientists" noticed that the planet is not warming, but is actually cooling, so they changed the name of their theory yet again from global warming to "Climate Change", just in case, to have all possibilities covered.
Soon, my dear sir the whole thing will be unequivocally exposed for a premeditated fraud.
People like yourself will then be held responsible for the enormous psychological, social and financial damage that your actions have caused.
Just like when a doctor who gives out the wrong diagnosis and causes harm to the patient as a result, just like in such a case the doctor has the license suspended and has to pay damages or even go to prison, people like you will soon face the consequences of the lies you have imposed on the world for so many years.
There must be parents out there whose children have suffered mental trauma because of this great scam.
All these parents should get together and get a pit bull of a lawyer to file a class action law suit in a civil court and take the global warming crooks to the cleaners.
I didn't think it possible anyone would dare attempt to fill the remaining buffoon void after the crazed sex poodle withdrew to massage rehab -- Yet, a new prospect seems to have emerged.
