    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    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...

    China to Ban Sale of Fossil Fuel Cars Electric Vehicle Push

    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...

    Australian helmet laws, edit (survey results )

    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...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    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...

    Pole says no to carbon

    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.

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    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...

    China to Ban Sale of Fossil Fuel Cars Electric Vehicle Push

    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...

    Australian helmet laws, edit (survey results )

    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"...

    What will it take to make ebikes, More mainstream ?

    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...

    China to Ban Sale of Fossil Fuel Cars Electric Vehicle Push

    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...

    China to Ban Sale of Fossil Fuel Cars Electric Vehicle Push

    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...

    China to Ban Sale of Fossil Fuel Cars Electric Vehicle Push

    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.

    Tony Seba: Clean Disruption of Energy and Transport

    You're saying the same thing Tony Seba said, that it's cheaper to share a car than to own one. And I agree. But we don't just do everything that's cheaper, otherwise we'd all live out of a cardboard box. People own cars because it's convenient and makes our lives more pleasant, not because...

    Australian helmet laws, edit (survey results )

    Wow, this is such an outstanding point. You can see here exactly why it's such a bad idea to protect people from themselves. Others are saying "but it drives up the cost of public healthcare". The problem there is the socialized healthcare. Take away the violence backed system and let...

    As usual Chalo, you're out of your league here. You assume there's some logical backing for the liberal rhetoric you've been taught, but there isn't. I'm happy to discuss this subject if you'd like, but you'll just come off looking foolish again.

    Where is all this hostility coming from? I quoted one thing I didn't understand and later formed it into a single question. I was nothing but friendly and you did nothing but attack me. It's not that I care at all who you think is spoiled, I just don't understand why you want anyone to not be...

    Whoa, where is all this hostility and attack coming from? I don't get it, you've made four posts in a row like you don't know what to think or what to say. I'm assuming you're just angry because I've identified something you said that you possibly didn't mean to say. But instead of just...

    Tony Seba: Clean Disruption of Energy and Transport

    Although quite long, this presentation gets interesting after about the first 18 minutes. However I think his assessment of the cost of buying and owning an electric car conveniently overlooks the cost of battery replacement every 5 or 10 years. The cost of a replacement battery is so high...

    What will it take to make ebikes, More mainstream ?

    I'm sure that's what Rumme was referring to. But the question still stands, why should anyone be expected to intentionally make themselves less spoiled, less comfortable and less happy than they are able? (Claiming there is more danger in going faster means nothing because that danger is...

    What will it take to make ebikes, More mainstream ?

    You're saying being spoiled is good, and I agree. Rumme was saying people should stop being spoiled. He's asking for the opposite. In your case that would be asking you to stop riding your ebike.

    What will it take to make ebikes, More mainstream ?

    Having read through this entire thread, I find myself asking why? Why do we care if ebikes are mainstream? Ask yourself if it's because we want people to fulfill their desires better and be happier, or is it because we want to force our views on others? Wouldn't it be enough to let everyone...
