But there are four reasons that most Americans prefer to buy cars with internal combustion engines: cost, convenience, climate, and China. //
the Biden administration’s push for EVs is to supposedly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But in order to produce supplies of batteries for EVs and other components, China is increasing its construction of coal-fired power plants. America has 225 coal-fired power plants (which the Biden administration is trying to put out of business), and China has 1,118 (half of all the coal-fired plants in the world). //
Biden says that EVs will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that regulations on tailpipe and power plant emissions reduce global warming. But this is a fantasy. Emissions will not be reduced until the biggest producers of so-called greenhouse gases—China, India, and Russia—reduce their emissions, which they show no signs of doing.

For the sixth year out of the last eight, the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet is gaining more ice than the 1981-2010 average. This won't be reported by the @nytimes, @BBCNews or
@CNN, because it doesn't suit their #ClimateScam agenda.

Cherrypicking newspaper clippings and pointing out that there has been warm weather in some places in the past, & thinking that it proves something, shows a spectacular failure to grasp scientific principles.
Coincidentally, February 1924 happened to be unusually cold in London.

Belief in the #ClimateScam requires an impressive lack of knowledge of history, combined with an inability to understand fundamental mathematical and scientific principles. A lack of curiosity also seems to be helpful.

The first Winter Olympics in 1924 at Chamonix almost had to be cancelled because of a lack of snow and ice. According to the world's #1 #ClimateScam fraudster @MichaelEMann, that was one of the coldest years of the past millennium.
In an influential cli-fi novel, a desperate government ignores international consensus and pumps aerosols into the atmosphere to cool the world. Could it happen for real? //
This January, more than 440 scientists signed an open letter calling for a non-use agreement on solar geoengineering – including for small-scale outdoor experiments, like the unauthorised test conducted by a San Francisco start-up in Mexico earlier this year. They argue that the side-effects are unpredictable, the current global governance system is "incapable" of guaranteeing fair and effective control, and that development might encourage "normalisation" of the technology as part of the world's climate policy. Its cooling effect could create a "moral hazard", numerous researchers and civil society organisations warn, by taking pressure off efforts to cut the underlying CO2 emissions.
Such concerns have so far resulted in a de-facto moratorium on deployment, while a planned field test over Sweden was cancelled in the wake of objections.
If we've learned anything from the left over the years, it's that they're no longer satisfied with the rest of us merely accepting their various narratives, life choices, and such. Instead, they're hellbent on forcing us to embrace their insanity.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world increasingly laughs at America — while China and Russia continue to search for ways to exploit our self-inflicted weaknesses.
