March 2019 is the second hottest March on Record

I will suggest that most people who got into them in the first place didn't need the range or frequency of use that most car owners have. Now if this was forced on the population in general, I think the No's would be in that 90+% range with the current technology.

I can't tell you how many times gasoline-powered cars have broken down on my roadtrips - an experience that most can probably relate to... Those very parts that constantly break down are non-existent on electric cars.

You need better cars, or lessons about maintenance.

Well, I forgot to ask my friend at work. He lived on submarines for most his military career and was a reactor engineer, or something like that.

Keep in mind how the military works. Ideal conditions for an infantry soldier for example would be at under maybe 70F, but above maybe 50F. However, they train for hot and cold environments, and their efficiency goes down when they are outside of optimum parameters. Then there is a difference between what is automatic in reaction from training, and what one has to think about.

I don't know where the point of reduced mental ability is at, but I'll bet its much sooner than the 20 times point.

If there is no study showing EV satisfaction, you would say that "There is no study showing EV satisfaction". Since there is a study showing that EVs are unanimously LOVED by their owners, you claim that, and I paraphrase, "that the owners don't know what they're happy about".:roll:
 
Another climate change thread. OK.

First off let me say most people are completely mistaken as to what climate change really is. And I really don't have the time or the inclination to make a huge post educating anyone, so in the most simplistic of terms:

Ice core samples have shown that approximately every 150,000 years the Earth peaks then cools. Then peaks, then cools. And so forth.

The Earth is not getting hotter.

It's peaked.

The temperature is not increasing it's just not getting cooler. Think of it like an ice cube slowing melting at room temperature rather than in an oven.

The problem is we should be in the cooling trend. We are not, we are still peaking.

This clearly is caused by the rapid increase in population and manufacturing.

How long we stay peaking will determine things like glacier melting ( see ice cube above ).

The heating rate that we are seeing today is unprecedented. See this link...

There is nothing whatsoever that is unprecedented about todays very modest warming phase as I've illustrated multiple times here. It is well within the natural variability of the last few thousand years both in terms of its level and rate of change

The rest is government staged hysteria and guilt management for the galactically gullible

Technology progresses in acceptable stages based on demand.
A carbon neutral fuel to make any vehicle just as green as an electric vehicle, but without the limitations,
would likely find a market, and much faster than transitioning every vehicle to electric.
research is progressing.

Hey ... given that post I can re-ask what I asked you earlier on this thread before you ran off.
Regarding your thread title "Global temperatures in March were second hottest on record" ... how long is that record? Should you answer, why would that short amount of time be significant?

Considering that it continued through April, which was the 2nd hottest April on record, eventually these trends become significant. Consider that it is occurring year-after-year is even more significant.

You dont understand.

Bubba is trying to get you to bring out paleoclimate data, and then he's going to whine about 'climategate'. Then he'll present all kinds of nutjob debunked info about Mann's work in the 90s - as if thats still an issue in real life.

He thinks he's doing this via socratic method or something, but he's way too transparent to miss these days.

I'll go with what the company spokesperson stated...

GM kills the Chevy Volt, shuts down factories, but accelerates EV investment - Electrek

They now say that they will prioritize “investments in its next-generation battery-electric architectures”:

“GM now intends to prioritize future vehicle investments in its next-generation battery-electric architectures. As the current vehicle portfolio is optimized, it is expected that more than 75 percent of GM’s global sales volume will come from five vehicle architectures by early next decade.”

CEO Mary Barra said that it would result in doubling the company’s investment in electric vehicles and self-driving technology.

Last year, the company announced several new electric vehicles to launch in the next few years, including 5 crossovers, 2 minivans, 7 SUVs, and more.

...

You avoided the question again.
How long is the record?
Your post at #309 had the answer.
So I ask again, does fewer than 150 years seem like a very long record to you considering the earth's life span of over 4 billion years?
You can shorten it a whole lot from billions but it still wouldn't make 150 years a significant record or one defensible as alarming.
Would it?

His question still stands. Why has such a short duration record have any significance whatsoever in the great scheme of things ?

That's in relation to their gas vehicles. GM is also upgrading it's EV fleet, as I showed earlier. Gas vehicles resale rate will start dropping dramatically, as EVs take over. In 15 years, you won't be able to give away a used gas vehicle. Meanwhile folks will be charging their EVs from the sun...
