The Climate Change scam

[Kangal]

Is that that lezzer who Kangal forced me to watch?

She looks like a muff diving primary school teacher.

I sent you another in depth video Myles. Did you watch it?

I must admit that I hadn't appreciated how little aware of the debate and counter arguments many in the trade are, and I now stand better informed.

I sense a growing divide between urban motorists and us bog trotters out in the sticks. EVs look grand for running around town but country folk just don't want anything to do with them.

Tesla and Volkswagon are slashing the price of their electric cars because of lack of demand and the backlash towards the woke, green, pedo, tranny movement in general.
Apple have scrapped their battery car programme, Toyota are going in a different direction and Mercedes are concentrating on refining their diesel and petrol offerings.
The fad is dying a death and the environmental cost of it remains to be seen.
That's before we get into the moral argument of having 5 year old kids sloshing around in highly toxic mines harvesting the shit needed for these things.
Leftards are well used to abusing kids so they see no problem with that unfortunately.

That's what I was saying to you last week Sir. A lot of them - including a number of motoring journalists - totally believe that ICE cars will be gone in a few years.

I don't believe ICE will be gone but EVs are going to dominate. And the main reason is range.

Battery technology research is proceeding at breakneck speed. Everyone knows the key is much greater capacity and much quicker recharging. I think EVs may even do even better in the country where you can charge from your own house, than in the city where on street charging is going to be difficult. But the goal has to be in either case to keep increasing range.

These are the current limits now but new models will increase it over and over.

In the end, it's down to what suits people and their needs. I'll probably buy a long range spec'd EV next, secondhand, though keep the hybrid I have. That works for me and my commutes.

Then there's this.......

The Replacement Battery Costs for These Six Normal EVs Is Staggeringly High

The battery pack is almost the entire cost of the car in some cases. Some are more costly than the car itself.

And who do you think knows more about, Engines / Vehicles and Pulling Power ? !

Aye, and try telling a farmer that if his car gets stuck in mud/snow/cow poop, he can't pull it out for fear of damaging the transmission.

Basically that could be a death sentence to the Teller ! !

Please, go ahead and buy one, they are total pratmobiles after all.

This is circulating - there seems to be receding of enthusiasm for electric vehicles. It's to do with more wear on the tires due to the vehicle being significantly heavier - this produces micro-particulates which are more toxic than fumes from combustion. There's also a note on emissions which is more about the location than the amount - from an exhaust stack in a power station rather than distributed around the road system. It may be better from public health point of view to emit from a central location than inhabited areas.

There was sabotage on the electricity supply to the Tesla factory in Germany by an Antifa type group there. Good thing Elon has his Cambrian rocket company.

There's also been a diminishment in practical commitment by Millennials and Gen Z as they begin to pay for things themselves. This means there is a young constituency that is unenthusiastic about costly Five Year Plans. This gave Sunak and Staimer the slack to row back on climate promises in Britain. There's still a large lobbyist infrastructure in the political system so the topic will remain front and center for a while, despite reduced public interest.

Meanwhile there's been massive decrease in nickel and lithium prices due to slower growth in anticipated demand and an excess of supply.

What's behind the drastic downturn in nickel and lithium prices, and what does it mean? - ABC News Aus

The pogo ball component of the EV market appears to be waning. There are commercial challenges that are confounding the original plans, especially in the capacity of the electricity network and the price point of EVs.

Still, an excellent choice for urban driving - especially compact cars, ranged driving is better done with an internal combustion engine though. The current thing is to encourage shank's mare and cycling. I think there will be ever greater pressure and measures applied to reduce households to one car. We'll see how that floats once mummies realise that's the trajectory but they're going to decommissioned on Friday so does it really matter?

Indeed, as EVs move from the pipedream to reality all sorts of issues are beginning to surface and awkward questions asked. The sheer load on the grid is another problem coming to the fore and the talk of battery powered trucks has me chewing the carpet such is the stupidity of replacing half the payload with the weight of the battery, meaning that trucks will need to make twice the number of journeys to shift the same amount of stuff!

But as you say, money is the driver. Ford were given $3 billion to build a battery plant in Korea, that's free money to make whatever profit they can on it, why wouldn't they be pushing EVs?

EVs drive UK new car market to 20-year high - Energy Live News

In February, the UK's new car market experienced its strongest performance in twenty years, witnessing a 14.0% rise in registrations to 84,886 units, with notable growth in electric vehicle uptake

Electric Vehicle Market Looks Headed for 22% Growth This Year

BloombergNEF sees a slowdown in 2024 giving way to acceleration the following two years, when a slew of cheaper models are slated to arrive.

Bubbles!!!!
I remember when the extremist 'environmentalists' told everyone to buy diesel.......

I have a family member who ordered a Tesla model 3 for delivery in February, paid his deposit last November and since then the delivery date has been shifted and Tesla emailed him to let him know they're reducing the original price by €6,000!

The arse will fall out of the toy car market when people realise the secondhand values are sinking like Zitler's GDP and the €50k they pay for one now will be worth less than half of that in 2 years.

Car dealers in Dublin are refusing to take these toy cars as trade-in's because they're way too risky.
If they sell one for €20k and the battery fails under their warranty, they're screwed, it'll cost them that much to replace the battery on some of them.

EV's are for millennials, to go with their manbags, cuckolded lifestyles and terrible beards.

ROTFL!!!!

An interesting idea, and having read some of the Iliad myself I too wondered about the reference to snow etc, references which I have also come across in other accounts of ancient travel.

From these fragments, Vinci extrapolates a grand narrative, which goes something like this: During the Holocene Climate Optimum, from roughly 7500 to 5500 BC, northern Europe was much warmer than it is now, generated rich harvests, and hosted a vibrant, proto-Greek Bronze Age civilization.

Was the "Odyssey" originally set in the Baltic?

The Trojan War was actually fought in Finland and Ulysses sailed home to Denmark, says one controversial theory.

Climate change isn't a western problem yet. We are going to be rich enough to buy our way out of most problems, though the cost means future generations will not be quite as wealthy as we are now. However....

The inevitable consequence of climate change is going to be war, lots of it. Pick up any history book and it all comes down to a competition for resources.

There's been certain exceptions....the US has acted as a global policeman and the EU has succeeded in stopping another general European war, since 1945, both by guaranting open trade. But none of that is guaranteed to last forever.

China is on its way out and its going to get very hard on the Indian subcontinent. Sub saharian Africa will be totally destabilised but tat won't affect us. The South Americans will all go to war with each other but again nothing to do with us.

But if the US falters, or the EU fails? All bets are off for us.

OK, where is the climate change now? Nothing has changed in Ireland in my time and Blue Mickey says
he does not see it and he is 85. So if people are to leave some locations, where will they leave? Will they leave Iceland, Corsica? where?

More changes for the various climate changes, on the way . . .

Oh the climate change is there alright, as it has been for the last 3.5 billion years. It's just that big money has now decided that even bigger money can be had from pretending that it's all our fault.
