Big Green's nonsense

 Olivia Murray:

Organization demanding forced transition to EVs also opposes mining practices needed to procure the minerals to build the cars

They are very short-sighted.

ANOTHER NAIL IN THE GLOBAL WARMING COFFIN

 Statistics Norway, the government agency that produces official statistics for that country, released a report last month titled “To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?” The report concludes:

[T]he results imply that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be sufficiently strong to cause systematic changes in the pattern of the temperature fluctuations. In other words, our analysis indicates that with the current level of knowledge, it seems impossible to determine how much of the temperature increase is due to emissions of CO2.

The report looks at the last 400,000+ years of Earth’s climate history:

The preceding four interglacial periods are seen at about 125,000, 280,000, 325,000 and 415,000 years before now, with much longer glacial periods in between. All four previous interglacial periods are seen to be warmer than the present. The typical length of a glacial period is about 100,000 years, while an interglacial period typically lasts for about 10-15,000 years. The present inter-glacial period has now lasted about 11,600 years.

So sometime relatively soon, the Earth is going to start getting really, really cold. This accompanying chart shows that history, based on ice cores....

Big Green's predictions of an overheated earth have been wrong.

A key Ford executive has a controversial take about Americans and electric vehicles

High vehicle prices and an underdeveloped charging infrastructure are just some of the reasons why many American car buyers are still not making the jump towards fully-electric cars any time soon.

Some curious buyers are adopting hybrids; which utilizes internal combustion engines, but does not burn as much fuel as a typical car. However, in the eyes of a certain Ford executive, something else is affecting electric car sales.

In an interview with the New York Times, Ford Motor Company Executive Chair and Henry Ford’s great grandson Bill Ford, called the debacle surrounding American car buyer’s adoption of electric cars to be “politicized” and compared it to the undertones surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Blue states say EVs are great and we need to adopt them as soon as possible for climate reasons. Some of the red states say this is just like the vaccine, and it’s being shoved down our throat by the government, and we don’t want it," Ford said. “I never thought I would see the day when our products were so heavily politicized, but they are.”
