How Many Cars are There on Mars? » Publications » Family Security Matters
For the Greens and the environmentalists the car is the main culprit and its eventual disappearance as a gasoline driven machine will, they are convinced, help end man made global warming.Yes, we bungled, but we've still got a major problem on our hands, say top UK scientists | The Sun |News|Green
But the Earth was once much warmer than it is today and the polar caps on Mars are displaying a warming trend. The Jurassic and Cretaceous periods in earth’s history make today’s climate seem particularly cool and, as far as I know, there were no carbon emitting automobiles sharing the Earth with the dinosaurs.
And after all, how many cars are there on Mars?
IT IS a bitter irony that as governments met in Mexico at the UN climate change conference yesterday, the UK's overnight temperature hit -18°C.EU Referendum: Out of their tiny minds
And more seriously, the climatologists admitted that previous worst-case predictions of sea levels rising by 13 feet across the world by the end of the century were just plain wrong - and even a lesser six-foot rise was now very unlikely.
...
[Professor Bob Watson, chief scientist at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs] "But we can be very sure about the middle-level projections of seas rising more than half a metre over a century, and they are already cause for concern. If you are an island state, or Bangladesh or the Pearl River in China, then seas rising half a metre in the next century along with storm surges is not going to be insignificant at all.
Not least of their effluvia, they want a substantial proportion of UK car fleet replaced with 11 million electric or hybrid vehicles. At the same time they are suggesting that their 60 percent emissions target is achievable at a cost of less than one percent of GDP.Education versus indoctrination: Part III | Climate Etc.
Taking the cost of the Nissan Leaf – against, say the cost of a new Ford Focus, to replace the entire fleet would cost about £165,000,000,000 over and above the normal retail price of the conventional cars. By my estimation, that additional cost is well over ten percent of GDP.
That, of course, is only the start. For these vehicles to be "emission-free", the electricity they use must come from renewables or nuclear. And the Turner mob have not even begun to work out the price for doing that - but it would be additional to the cost of meeting the current base load. Has anyone done the calculations - the cost of providing electric capacity to charge up 11 million vehicles? Then there is the cost of the charging points.
Also, an increasing number of those who simply accepted the pro-AGW message, which has recently been exposed to unfavourable publicity, may now be relying on internal narratives that are telling them this has never been about the science; it is about politics, and in that, Joe Bloggs is as expert or more expert than many scientists. As always, there may be some truth behind this narrative, but it’s irrelevant how much for many people: the narrative IS reality.
