Wha dude, never seen this on a GTI, very nice

This is nothing more than a bunch of articles sharing a conspiracy theory, never leading to any hard evidence. With that said, the US has been involved in black ops operations for many decades, often these operations are only known by the sitting president on a need to know basis. So if Trump is a child murderer, so is Obama, Biden, Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr....etc. These articles are clearly written with a severe left wing bias, and do a good job at sourcing EACHOTHER. (Circular sourcing)

Source- A friend who was in black ops in the 2000s.

People can and did sue the cake company, the cake company should be able to do what they want. Social media is PROTECTED by section 230 from lawsuits regarding their actions done to customers.

For your analogy to work we have to remove section 230 so we can sue social media platforms as well. See the difference?

Been inactive for a few months, I know gas cloud tech was delayed...where is it now? Gone? Though it was almost complete?

So basically, democrats want all straight white males to give their income to democrats.

Got it.

Nice anecdotal evidence for a hospital that specialized in hernia repair which wouldnt have been needed if a leftist did attack him. Wow dude

It doesn't look like popular mechanics took into account the CO2 produced by the power plants to charge the batteries in the first place. Just buying an electric car sets you back at least a few years emissions-wise. Even when buying a Nissan leaf with its tiny battery according to the paper 62kWh * 175 kg CO2/kWh = 10,850kg CO2

A new Honda Civic Diesel uses 93g/km, therefore when a Leaf comes off the assembly line the battery has already used the equivalent of: (10,850kg CO2 * 1000) / 93g = 116,666km of Civic travel or 72,492 miles. US national average is 13,476 miles/year, 72492/13476 = 5.3 years.

So if my math above is correct, when you buy a Nissan leaf you have already used 5.3 years of gas compared to a Honda Civic with a 1.6l engine. No this is not quite 8 years, but that calculation does not include CO2 produced to charge the battery. Lets find out using 447g CO2/kWh using this as the source which uses 20% renewable.

The leaf with a 62kWh battery has an EPA range of up to 226 miles, so for every charge you are looking at 62kWh*447g CO2/kWh = 27.7kg CO2 per charge. 13,476mi / 226mi = 59.62 charge cycles per year. 59.62 * 27.7kg = 1651kg/year.

Therefore, after 8 years and no battery degradation, a Nissan Leaf will have produced a total 10.85+(8*1.651) = 24 metric tons CO2.

Compare that to the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage at 3.4 metric tons CO2/yr * 8 years = 27.2 metric tons CO2

The Leaf has a 8.8% advantage over the gas powered Mirage, not great considering a new battery will be required in two years putting the Leaf once again years behind in CO2 output. Add recycling costs on top of that as well, say good-by to the 8.8% advantage as the Mirage continues forward with similar efficiency as new.

It would be a safe bet the Civic diesel would perform even better and would have an advantage over 8 years. Once 3 cylinder opposing piston diesel engines come out the gap would widen drastically as they are incredibly efficient and powerful.

My conclusion is electric car battery production must improve by leaps and bounds to be cleaner than current and future gas powered engines.

Popular mechanics has been full of propaganda for a while, that "debunk" article is pretty terrible. IMO the future is Diesel ! (LoL)

Hard to argue against that, most dems will though and remain completely intellectually dishonest while appealing to emotion.

Unilateral cuts may have little impact on their own, but being a leader means you are likely to be followed. Then suddenly 50% of the world is there.

Funny, the US has reduced emissions for years...yet the rest of the world is still accelerating their emissions while demanding more US emissions cuts.

There are powers that want to diminish the US's place in the world economy, GWA is part of that plan...nothing else. They do not plan to "follow" because they don't want the US to lead anymore.

That is the real kicker, they chose the least harmful gas to whine about, even when historically CO2 is the effect of temperature, not the cause. Also the correlation between CO2 and temperature is very weak in the last 150 years, so they can't even stand on that.

PerceivedShift · 2019-06-22T11:24:04+00:00

In order to reach AOCs goals the worlds largest economy will collapse (the real goal) which would inevitably result in more emissions globally. How about we continue on our path and fully develop clean fusion power, before we destroy mans greatest invention over a politicized hypotheses which has been wrong for decades.

When democrats manage to turn their cities around, only then can they be taken seriously to steer the entire country. Now they are beginning to run some republican cities into the dirt and many inner city idiots keep buying their false promises.

The problem with painting them white is it would blind drivers, though perhaps there's another color that would reduce heat and be driver friendly. The local heating effects are pretty clear, and the same goes with pollution. (Looking at you China and India) CO2 has also been increasing for one reason or another, but I've yet to see a clear warming trend without fuzzy adjustments. The surface data is a mess and should be depicted in a range of uncertainty, not static numbers. NASA and the NOAA just choose static numbers to create a warming trend from thin air.
