Are you this pedantic in your professional life???????? I ask because it really IS "tedious".
Wow. Me being pedantic? I mention my hilarious smart car not using much in the way of fuels and I get called out as pedantic? In a thread about EVs.

I am paid to be pedantic sometimes, sometimes I am not. And I am very effective and well known. Not sure why that is relevant here.

As for virtue signaling, that’s a catch all for having an opinion different than the cabal here in the echo chamber. It’s lame.

Still all water for me. Maybe PT needs to hydrate to keep up.

Hold on and let me get a pen so I can write this down.

The explanation is that I probably disagree with you. That’s the whole point of discussion. I guess I should maybe just parrot back the talking points here to be part of the cabal, like I was pre-Obama. No thanks.

This line of discussion isn’t entertaining to me anymore. So, I am done. Have a good one.

The world is not going to end in 12 years. But there is a middle ground, just like everything else. It isn’t a good idea to allow the chicoms and the Indians to keep pumping industrial waste into the environment.
Both countries have very limited energy resources. While both are pushing EVs that will not alleviate the pollution they will spew into the atmospheres as their populations continue to outstrip their resources. A good war between those 2 countries if it could be kept sub-nuclear would do the world a favor.

And back to the original topic of this thread. The truck looks like a 6 yo's paper pirate hat.

U.N. Chief Warns “Point of No Return” on Climate Change “Is in Sight”

Well, there you have it. All the saps can run down to their local EV dealer and reduce their carbon footprints.

Report back here so that the rest of us can thank you for "saving the planet". I wish I could work with the brilliant minds at the UN to make every one of its employees buy an EV with their own money and to stop using any ICE powered vehicles. Including aircraft. Then put them all on sailing rafts back to their homes.

We as a planet have a population control problem. More so outside our borders. Nobody likes my opinion on that. It started with incorrect and misapplied western medicine as band aids in parts of the world were population control was automatic for centuries.

That has been said many times.

And each time the data that is user to support it falls short.

I vote for all liberals to kill themselves. Either they are serious about saving the planet or they aren't.

Can't believe I missed all the fun last night. That's what I get for wasting time with the kids down in 992 area. Way more fun up here.

Irrelevant? Just because a useless kid sits on the couch for several years doesn't make him an "infant"

For that there is no evidence.
There's plenty of evidence if you selectively disregard historical facts and redefine terms or use inaccurate ones. That's why we know socialism works wonderfully and North Korea is Best Korea.

but the important thing is that we keep calling EVs "zero emission vehicles" because as long as you look no further than the term itself, it sounds very impressive.
