Americans who consider human-linked climate change a load of hogwash and environmentalists kooks have rolled out a new way to express their political views: their exhaust pipes. 

Some truck enthusiasts are reconfiguring their vehicles to produce higher amounts of Mobile Diesel Repair in Las Vegas exhaust in a form of protest dubbed 'rolling coal'. In some cases, they are even adding smokestacks to enhance the effect.

Some in the community modify their trucks with smokestacks to boost their vehicle's smoke-belching capacity



One modification to their vehicles being used involves increasing the amount of fuel entering the truck's engine. When there's too much fuel, the engine fails to combust properly, turning it into soot. 

'It's just fun,' said Robbie, a 25-year-old mechanic in South Carolina who has been 'rollin' coal' since he got his first truck 12 years ago, according to Vocativ. 'Just driving and blowing smoke and having a good time.'

The trucks are able to create copious amount of smoke on demand, enabling them to spew it on unsuspecting cars. They call the soot 'Prius repellant'



Coal rollers call that soot 'Prius repellent' and channel it through smokestacks that can release it onto bystanders or cars - especially Priuses - in a thick, pollutant-heavy black cloud, the Post said.
