Electric cars produce more CO2 than diesel cars

A lot of the carbon footprint of electric cars is the large carbon cost needed to refine lithium for the batteries.

I'm not against electric cars BTW, but their main benefit, in the long term, is that the move the pollution out of the cities. But the reference I gave suggests they will not help with climate change.

With electric cars, you get loads of white smoke, a Terrible Smell and the thing catches fire instead

Well since by and large there isnt any significant climate change and none of it can be shown to be human enabled, thats pretty obvious!

What the media don't tell anyone, because the alarmists don't tell them and they're incapable of finding it out for themselves, is that the 'globe' has barely warmed in the last twenty years, despite a 10% increase in CO2 over that period.

The CRU said they'd start getting worried about their model if the pause continued for 15 years ...

I think you might be confusing electric cars with popemobiles.

And also unlikely to emanate from any diesel in a decent state of repair. Won't get through its next MOT and may well be pulled by the police in the meantime.

And that was three years ago.

They've gone quite on global temps, because they are static. They have gone quiet on artcic ice, because thats rebounded. They've gone quiet on glaciers, because they havent changed much. Theve goine quite on coral, because that professors in Oz won his laswuit for unfair dismiassla for ayong te cotral died for a different reason.They'e gone quiet on polar bears because ther are so many they are becoming a nuisance.

They are naming storms becaise that gives the impressions they are scarier than they used to be. They are not.

The Meme is copllapsing which is why this latest orchetsrated project climate fear is happening.

You just havent seen enough autodestructs on model planes powered by electric motors and lithium batteries.

It really is impressive.
