You argue best when you argue my point. EVs are a net carbon reduction over their expected lifetime. You said so yourself.
That does it for you, eh?

You are something! really, really, something.

OK, TY.

I don't believe we know when the favorable mileage limit is.

I'd have to look at the math and logic.


But if carbon-dioxide is good for the environment, then lowering carbon emissions could be negative.


Lowering carbon emissions so the CO2 level is reduced to what it was before the industrial revolution is nothing but a positive,

Nature has a mechanism to keep things in balance.


Reducing carbon-dioxide would be less beneficial to plants.

The key is plants growing and sequestering more carbon-dioxide.

The less plants, the less carbon sequestration.


So any person that wants us to believe the oceans are boiling scam (Gore), has to overcome plant life greening the Earth sequestering more carbon.


The danger seems to be less plants growing so more carbon-dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Like what Biden is effectively trying to do.

Biden, Kerry, Gore, etc., are enemies to plants and the Earth, without even knowing it.

Our carbon emissions have dropped by around 20% per capita since 2007. We are around the range from 1979. China's emission levels are more than 50% more that ours and they are on a steady upwards trend. China has five times the amount of emissions they had in 1979.

We can be serious about the climate without breaking the US with ridiculous mandates. There are better answers with less consequences to our economy than those the current administration is pushing.

Old men start wars and send young men off to die. Old men make stupid policies that make them popular with voters but that will result in higher deficits. Old men often don't live to see the consequences of their actions and you youngsters are left to pay for them.

We makes nature's job a lot tougher when we we pump CO2 into the atmosphere AND cut down entire forests. Again, you argue best when you argue my point.,

His ego probably can't take being one of the regulars. He should have challenged Gaetz to a duel by pistols.

It is equally sad that we're planting 5 billion trees a year, but cutting down 15 billion trees a year.
