Sure there were. Ice cores for one.

another graph with CO2 going back further in time

Fri Dec 09, 2022 7:35 am

Please don't make this about the climate.

It's about electric vehicles (planes, cars, busses, trucks, bicycles) being bad.

I'm really impressed by all of these graphs & colored pictures.

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the theory, however it is wrong and no real world observation has confirmed it yet. The real world data says it is wrong.

Can't we just agree that electric cars are bad?

I'd like to see actual owners/operators chime in on their experiences. I've talked to a few people that drive them and they are all happy. I met a retired rich guy at a hot springs with a Tesla model S. He put 78K on it driving all over the Western US and only replaced tires. he had some sort of extended range battery. The Chinese are buying E-vehicles in mass and they are the number 1 market. Maybe they aren't totally bad...at least from a consumer point of view.

Steve, please explain, why ,at this point, polluting the the earth's waterways mining precious metals then being beholden to our political enemies, cluttering miles of landscape with ugly fuqing wind turbines and solar panels and pumping more dinosaur sludge to build ev's is better for the environment?

Haven't we, most of the earth's human population, cluttered and choked waterways and oceans with petroleum based garbage? Do a little research on microplastic particles being found in every ocean on the planet.
Don't you think it would be a good idea to clean up the big heap of shit we've already made before we create another? All the bobbleheads and scientists cannot predict how bad this next disaster will be, and I doubt they care as long as they get the big bucks.
The crap we hear now is bought and paid for by .gov/lobbyist. You cannot deny it.
Why is it humans like crap where they eat 😕

This is why I believe we are not ready for for ev's, one last thing, is electric the best we can come up with.. that's not thinking very far out of the box imo.

Looks like a polygraph with one big lie at the end and revised labeling

Because it's good for business, and gives consumers what they want.

check my sig. read my posts in this thread.

We now return you to hating on EVs...

Sales around the world

The only way to lower the CO2 emissions is to reduce the amount of humans living on planet Earth. We need to cut the human population in 1/2.

Climate change is a hoax to extort money out of stupid people. The best science we have today can only predict weather 48-72 Hrs. in advance. ANYBODY that tells you what the weather will be in 10 years is just sticking their finger up your ass. We only have accurate weather data from the last 130 years. Anything before that is just a guess.

EV's are not the answer to a problem that doesn't exist.

global heating corresponds to increased greenouse gasses

"The best science we have today can only predict weather 48-72 Hrs. in advance".

I have not come across that "best science" watching either the local newscast or The Weather Channel. They can't get tomorrow right! Those graphs are absolutely ridiculous. They do look impressive though, don't they?

and predicted temperature change in the future

Lame

Agree completely. If left alone, business seeks the lowest costs which don't account for externalities. This is where regulation steps in.

But that's not the topic of this thread, which is "EVs are bad". Please use this to counter "good for business" and "consumer desire."

Fri Dec 09, 2022 9:56 am

Interesting you don't discount ANY of the issues I proposed.
You show your progressive stance. We'll just kick the can down the road.
You and I won't around to discuss any collateral damage..
For now, we'll look the other way.

Fri Dec 09, 2022 9:59 am

All things taken into account. EV's emit less CO2 total.
