Electric cars do not save on using conventional fuels.
Does everyone know where electric power comes from? Probably most people know but don’t think about it. As a reminder, here is a list of where electricity comes from today:
Coal
Natural gas
Petroleum (Oil)
Nuclear
Hydroelectric
Wind
Biomass
Geothermal
Solar


Electric Cars: Experts argue whether electric cars are worse for the environment than gas guzzlers once the manufacturing process and batteries are taken into account.

Electric cars have to get electricity from somewhere to charge up their batteries, right? Do you think electric cars run from solar panels? Not so much. So the electricity comes from one of the other resources listed above.

Do you know how batteries for electric cars are made? How solar panels are made? Are they environmentally friendly? There are still lead-acid batteries around but batteries for electric cars are made of lithium-ion. So where does lithium-ion come from? Well, to begin with see Will the Race for Electric Vehicles Endanger the Earth’s Most Sensitive Ecosystem? Materials needed to make the batteries for electric cars and other clean technology is driving interest in deep-seabed mining, and scientists fear the cost to the ocean will be steep.

How To Create Mean Temperature Means (part 1)

In the field of climate science one thing is more certain than political interference and lapdog journalists, and that is climate variability.

Things are consistently going up and down in value whether by hour, day, week, month, year, decade or century.

Very little stands still regardless of whether we are measuring rainfall, atmospheric pressure, humidity, particulates, cloud cover, cosmic ray flux, ocean pH, hours of sunshine, sea surface temperature, wind speed, sea level or the temperature of airfield tarmac. Jiggling about is what the globe does best.

Humans are not very good at solving problems in n-dimensional covariance space so we try to simplify matters by putting a straight line through data, by adjusting measurements that don’t fit the narrative, by calling black the new orange or by reaching for a measure of central tendency such as the arithmetical mean (a.k.a. average) or median that squashes all that hairy variability into a convenient carrier of information.

We can then make bold statements such as the global mean sea level is rising by 1.7mm per year, or the mean global temperature is rising by 1.5°C per century. Since figures like these are spouted by acknowledged experts and can be found on the lips of all good science journalists we forget to stop and ask what the mean of anything actually means.

article: GLOBAL WARMING MYTH: In 1995 The New York Times Warned that East Coast Beaches Will Be Gone in 25 Years
This, say the scientists, would inundate parts of many heavily populated river deltas and the cities on them, making them uninhabitable, and would destroy many beaches around the world. At the most likely rate of rise, some experts say, most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years. They are already disappearing at an average of 2 to 3 feet a year.

No rise in global temperature for 15 years. (Thanks @David PS )

Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for statistics, as it was exceptionally warm and makes the graph look flat - and suggested using 1999 or 2000 instead to give a more upward-pointing curve.

The United States delegation even weighed in, urging the authors of the report to explain away the lack of warming using the ‘leading hypothesis’ among scientists that the lower warming is down to more heat being absorbed by the ocean – which has got hotter.

Another CLIMATE thread we have going - cross pollinating.

What do you think about climate change?

its a load of bunk. Government created scare tactics so they can force us to panic and change our heating/cooling/fuels an they will charge us more tax for it. there always has to be a war on something...ridiculous!
