We're going to see here why your co2 graph is dreadfully misleading. This is the history of the earth. See that tiny red dot over on the right? That's the entirety of your 300,000 year co2 graph. Here's a proper CO2 graph. Notice that the Earth's CO2 level has been over 1000ppm for...

Unlike that guy and his cat, you're obviously no dummy. Would you be willing to talk with me about some fundamentals of socialism? I have an excellent understanding of the free market but I really don't get socialism, I'd love to ask you a few questions. If we're going to banter we might as...

I can't believe how pedantic you're being here. But you still have it wrong. Once you say you support the subsidies, you are no longer paying them "against your will". Do you want the subsidies cancelled? No. My initial statement was functionally correct, I only revised it for you because you...

I get it, you're telling us the claims of the government are completely false. In fact your arguments are so clear and unavoidable that we must conclude the CDC was intentionally lying to us. I'm pretty sure that's what I've been saying all along, governments lie about everything. Thank you...

None of this is disputed, but it doesn't mean anything. You've presented nothing at all that shows human activity has any significant effect on the global climate. It's like you're insisting that spitting in the ocean makes the water level rise and so spitting in the ocean causes flooding. 1...

Good news for me, I love aluminum. It's stunning how long the wheelbase is on these bikes. The article says Pole is choosing not to have bikes made where the governments are even more oppressive than usual.

Punx0r convinced me to come here and give a fresh perspective. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Any temperature chart that doesn't go back 100,000 years is meaningless. As you can see on the charts the Earth's temperature routinely changes by 15 degrees all the time all by itself. The...

You're giving a very slanted and unfair summary that backs your personal views. Virtually no one here just gives an "apolitical assessment of the technological benefits", that's rubbish. There's no end of people saying "We should ban cars" or "blue motorcycles should be limited to whatever" or...

Here's a quote on bicycle helmets from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "Bicycle helmets are a proven intervention that reduce the risk of bicycle-related head injury by about 80 percent, yet bicycle helmets are not worn by most riders."...

I have strong anti-murder and anti-rape views too. There's nothing wrong with seeing both the good and the bad in every issue. Most folks do have everything you described, I agree. The socialists also have a strong desire to force their views on others. That's exactly what the word "push"...

I think we're having a bit of a terminology miscommunication here, although I did enjoy your post. It's probably my fault. I wasn't asking why people would ever choose to do something less comfortable. You addressed that very well in your first paragraph and I completely understand and agree...

It's not false, you just didn't bother to read it properly. The people at your company who you claim own or lease EV vehicles, are not the ones being forced against their will. Furthermore, I find it bizarre that you attempt to defend the concept of subsidies when we're talking about...

All subsidies are enforced at gunpoint because they are all paid for with taxation which is always enforced at gunpoint. It's not "weird shit", it works exactly the same where you live. The purpose of any subsidy is to force people to pay for things against their will. I'm sure you already...

Actually it's not provably untrue because there is no fixed definition of 'cost effective'. You would have us perceive that if a tiny number of people buy an EV at whatever price, that makes the car cost effective. Which is ridiculous of course. I'll re-phrase my statement to be more clear...

The key point is right there. The electric cars are NOT cost effective. If they were, people would choose to buy them without being forced to pay for them at the point of a gun.
