stopped reading after the first paragraph

It’s time the left pushed back against woke. Afraid of being branded a racist, misogynist or transphobe, the left has been browbeaten into silence by woke activists, even though the left enabled the modern movements for black rights, gay rights and feminism.

Is anyone on the left really afraid of those labels ?

And is anyone on the right proud to be labeled as one of those labels ?

Not everything is about left V. right

we have right wing people/views here that are not all nut jobs

 

[Obscene Assassin]

The right pushing and focusing on identity politics once again. Boring, get a new script.

It’s a scam, apparently

who benefits from saying that man-made climate change is a "scam"?

who benefits from saying that man-made climate change is a "scam"?

I benefit, because I won’t have to buy an EV that uses a diesel generator to charge it.

We, the people.

He is also a mechanical engineer, who writes opinion pieces on Climate Change. Has he ever authored peer reviewed papers on the topic ?

What I don't understand with people like Tom Harris is that if he possesses data driven facts that can flip science on it's head, then why not purse it by collating his rigorous research ? Write a scientific paper. Submit it to a reputable journal. Have it peer reviewed to the top science guys. After it is published others will engage and also test the robustness (is that a word) of the claims. If his data is repeatable, then science will have no choice to accept and he gets nobel prize.

I say this because I personally know an aussie who is very much like Mr Harris. Lovely man. Unlike ^^ Harris he is a tad more quailified. He is trying to get his stuff published, but so far has not been successful in getting his methodologies survive robust scrutiny. Good on him however, he is dedicated and not taking money from vested interests and does not disrespect his scientist peers.

The current figure is 60% of EV drivers have home chargers from roof top solar and it is expected to be 80% by 2030.

wonder if EV charged via diesel generator is more energy efficient than a petrol powered car anyway

Do 60% of EV drivers stay home all day to charge their car or is it overnight when they get home from work and the panels are in the dark?

Climate Change: Global Temperature

Earth's surface temperature has risen about 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the start of the NOAA record in 1850. It may seem like a small change, but it's a tremendous increase in stored heat.

www.climate.gov

Numbers don't lie on global warming since the 80s temps have risen 3 times as fast per decade.

Someone has to make the money I assume..

EV car maker
Solar panel
Battery

What's that all equal up to on average per year.

this does seem one of those cases where "feelings" that climate change is a "scam" trump any facts

certainly easier to shot that everyone is wrong than change yourself

FTR I'm 1000% sure climate change is real but EV's are another ideology where the facts are ignored in favour of a narrative. And don't even get me started on the fact that they are all made by the same potential adversary that is currently conducting live fire drill in the sea off Cronulla.

I don't know. I know a family who have an EV and roof top solar and now don't buy petrol, have a gas bill and hardly tap into the grid for power.

He says that the outlay is repaid in 7 years. He reckons the infrastructure to his house in recouped in the increase in value to the home anyway.

His claim is also that the EVs have less maintenance costs that ICE cars.

See 7 years is good for recouping the costs of the car / panels / battery. As most of those last between 15-25 years.

Correct they don't have much to service so cost should be less. you just need to find a mechanic that's competent in servicing them.

I am hoping that the EV cars become more popular so the prices go down a few dollars more.

You need to say china in Trump's voice.

On EVs I am still wondering why the hydrogen cars never "took off"
