Electric Cars « the Air Vent

And finally, however vilified, as the Infernal combustion engine always has been and still is, it remains along with its liquid hydrocarbon fuel a faithful servant and a very formidable competitor when it comes to propelling motor cars. In the end it is simple, robust, reliable and cheap. It has been around so long that any mechanic from London to Outer Mongolia can twiddle, tweak and fix it. And behind these mechanics is an organised supply chain that can deliver spare parts almost anywhere, even Darkest Peru, within a day or two. And it has seen off its rivals, even those hardy perennials such as steam and electricity many times before and bids fair to do so again.

Do politicians really imagine, for all their delusions of grandeur, that by squandering a few billions of the taxpayer’s money, they can change a great worldwide industry overnight? That is for you, not the author to judge. He has his own view.

Mixing trade and global warming — a recipe for disaster | GlobalWarming.org

Given the fact that global warming policy prescriptions have been extremely controversial even before the Kyoto Protocol 12 years ago, and the fact that the WTO’s Doha Round for 8 years has been mired down in disagreements among rich and poor countries, does it seem likely that putting these two divisive issues together will produce harmony?

C3: Fabricating Fake Global Warming? Evidence of Manipulating U.S. Temperature Data To "Prove" Human-CO2 Warming?

A large number of climate scientists are so dedicated to advocating that global warming exists, and it is caused by human CO2 emissions, they are apparently compelled to change (adjust) the actual scientific data in order to provide "proof" that what they advocate is correct. If U.S. and global measured temperatures were not adjusted by these climate scientist advocates, there would be little human CO2-caused global warming to worry about. An accurate assessment of the real temperature data would result in a determination that the global warming and climate change crisis has been juiced-up, to the potential economic and lifestyle detriment of most, and to the huge benefit of the few who stand to profit - just follow the money.

Oklahoma Farm Report - We Talk Healthcare, Climate Change and more with AFBF President Bob Stallman

...we also talked Climate Change and the concerns that AFBF has with the Democratic push in this area. Stallman says that his group is fearful that we will see large amounts of cropland be forced out of production and planted with trees to capture large amounts of carbon. That could result in the inability of US Agriculture to meet future food needs if millions of acres are indeed idled from crop production.

Latest in the Climate Fairy Story

Democrat spokesmen at the US Senate admitted today that Climate Change legislation is taking a hammering. Can they be surprised when it is being forced on people who know the laws will damage the economy and their own lives? But don’t clap – it has only been put on hold until next year, because government fears the vote. For them, it is too soon to reveal their true colours. It is very frustrating to want power and money and to have to wait! You’ve got to sympathise.
