The Climate Change Thread

Yeah, I can picture going to the far reaches of the forest to hunt deer in an electric vehicle.

It makes no sense.

I can picture myself having to walk back to civilization leaving my dead electric car behind.


I saw my first electric hummer yesterday. The dumbest idea ever. I fully expect GM to go bankrupt again. They go from making the best most badass affordable track car in the ZL1 1LE they've ever made, with no marketing,to building a multi-billion dollar electric hummer plant.

Gummint want the Army to go electric. Should work out well.
 
That's an even dumber idea. What are they going to do call time out on the battlefield? Got to charge the tank for the next 8 hours. Let's meet back up tomorrow to continue.
Of course. Our enemies don't want to contribute to global warming either.
Point was made that you won't have to keep trucking in fuel supplies which is another risk itself, but again the problem is the time it takes to recharge. You can use solar anywhere but that's the slowest one of all.

This is all about making money. It's whatever companies congress have their money invested in. It's how they and their friends get rich.

It's a great big scam that isn't sustainable. We will deplete resources to make batteries within 10 years at the going rate. The Congo produces 70% of the world's lithium with a good portion of it by hand, in horrific working conditions.

There's absolutely no way the supply can keep up with the demand. And it's not some infinite supply. The cost is going to go nothing but up.

Meanwhile the biggest polluters on the planet China&India do whatever they want.

Plus 10% for the Big Guy.



And Ned Beatty gives a similar speech at the end of the movie "Shooter" too. Can't find a clip though.

I believe she has appeared on " the View" , where most Americans get their news. They waved palm leaves and threw rose petals to celebrate her presence.

We’ve been warned, since 1912, at least. Let’s stick our heads back in the sand. That’s surely gonna help. 😐

More Global Warming science:


Abstract
Antarctic ice shelves provide buttressing support to the ice sheet, stabilising the flow of grounded ice and its contribution to global sea levels. Over the past 50 years, satellite observations have shown ice shelves collapse, thin, and retreat; however, there are few measurements of the Antarctic-wide change in ice shelf area. Here, we use MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data to measure the change in ice shelf calving front position and area on 34 ice shelves in Antarctica from 2009 to 2019. Over the last decade, a reduction in the area on the Antarctic Peninsula (6693 km2) and West Antarctica (5563 km2) has been outweighed by area growth in East Antarctica (3532 km2) and the large Ross and Ronne–Filchner ice shelves (14 028 km2). The largest retreat was observed on the Larsen C Ice Shelf, where 5917 km2 of ice was lost during an individual calving event in 2017, and the largest area increase was observed on Ronne Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, where a gradual advance over the past decade (535 km2 yr−1) led to a 5889 km2 area gain from 2009 to 2019. Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km2 since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating the importance of using time-variable calving flux observations to measure change.

I hope you climate deniers have your affairs in order! The world ends in 15 days!



God, I just wish you idiots had stopped all use of fossil fuels back in 2018 when we still had a chance to save the world.
 
Well , having 200000 fewer farting cows will certainly make a dent. But with only 15 days left.......
 
It's June 7th at 2 in the afternoon and only 93 degrees in Phoenix, we're back to the ice age of the '70's.

63 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.
73 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.
83 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.
93 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.
103 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.
113 degrees in Phoenix? Climate change.

BBQ!!



With free Bud Light?
 
45* here this morning. It hasn't been hot here yet this year.
