Although Electric Vehicles (EV) are a hot topic, they fundamentally have failed to compete in the marketplace. The major reasons for their success are government mandates, lack of attention to their environmental destruction and questionable energy benefits. Major problems include legitimate energy saving concerns; increases in our national debt, impossible goals, and the undesirable transfer of monies to the very rich. Energy issues: EVs have larger carbon footprints than hybrids for at least the initial 40,000-50,000 miles because mining 500,000 lbs. for each EV makes a huge carbon footprint. Since EVs are driven about 12,000 miles/yr. and the average age of EVs is 3.4 years, currently EVs in the aggregate have a larger carbon footprint than hybrids. Americans are daily...
Chelm, the mythical Polish shtetl, was where important Jewish folklore took place, and perhaps the most famous of the Chelm stories related to the heated argument as to whether the Sun or the Moon was the most significant celestial entity. The controversy became so heated that the people of Chelm decided to ask the chief rabbi for resolution. After one week of intense study the rabbi announced his decision. “It is obvious,” he said. “The Moon is more important because it sheds light at night when light is needed, but the Sun only provides light during the day, a time already blessed with sufficient light.” According to an update of this legend, there was a 97% consensus of the people,...
It was clear that 2023 would be a hotter year if there were an El Nino, the event which occurs every several years on earth when the winds from the Pacific Ocean beat up the waves and generate heat that subsequently heats up the earth. Attached is a chart which demonstrates that when we have a warm El Nino year, the earth heats up. And 2023 is an El Nino year! Chart Comments: The squiggly lines toward the top of this chart represent temperatures on earth. The solid reds at the bottom of the chart represent the warmth generated by El Nino. Note that the effect of El Nino between 1991 to 1995 warming was cancelled out by the Pinatubo...
Thank you to John Dale Dunn for sharing a review of Climate Change: What They Rarely Teach In College on American Thinker. "Stephen Einhorn, a Cornell, Brooklyn Polytech, Wharton School–educated chemist and businessman, has published Climate Change: What They Rarely Teach in College (Kindle $9.99, paper $20.00) with the intention of providing a reader-friendly, handy, and thorough book with a straightforward approach to nullifying and disproving the claims of climate change fanatics. Considering the widespread acceptance of nonsense climate change scare-mongering, we need help, and he is effective in providing some. Einhorn delves into the various scientific and rhetorical thickets to sort out the claims of climate fanatics and their proposals for solutions to their "crisis," and he systematically refutes the arguments and the...
