Okay,you are concerned with MAN MADE global warming, I get it.
You must be committed to stop this MAN MADE , committed people will do all they can to see their cause through, this post has a guy pictured that was on to something that could help with MAN MADE climate change. But alas, he has not been with us since June 3, 2011 but he certainly could have helped you in your quest. How committed are you?

Don't waste your breath or words, I really think the percentage of people who actually understand the reality of subsidies is quite small; electric auto, solar panels, etc. They actually think they're "free", not only to them, but from the brand, dealer, or source ! When the huge subsidies came out for street legal golf carts, remember the number of high profile wealthy people who bragged about buying multiple vehicles... one was one time presidential candidate Mike Huckabee who said in an interview what a good deal it was ! ? ?

If the threat is as serious as some people say, we should be doing everything to stop climate change. If we all knew that, unless we took drastic measures, we were going to die in 2030 because of climate change, I think all of us would be willing to sell our homes and cars and move into a small apartment and just use our golf carts. We would be willing to stop traveling and we would be willing to stop eating meat. When the Davos crowd gives up their private planes and embrace vegetarianism, I will know that it is serious. Until then, it is so much hot air.

Only The Rich (Or Fools) Can Afford To Buy New Cars Today

hummm, so all we need to do is watch for that Davos crowd to change their way of life hu ? Guess we have a long long long time to think about all this then...LOL ! Doubt those folks are going to be changing those jets for electric ones...LOL ! Why is it always the poor huddled masses that are required to re-use their toilet tissue....

Oh my goodness, you are onto something here, the electric golf car fires are contributing to the overall climate warming.

What??? Not funny? C'mon, man! Personally, I find a lot of humor in "man made global warming" but I do really/REALLY get a kick out of hysterical folks that squeal like a pig when they talk about humans changing the climate. And then, you have all those that spend a great deal of money for a battery fueled auto, that are more likely just using as a symbol of being of the elite class, than of really caring about how they are contributing to heal the weather. And, lets face it, no one is going to make a fool of themselves by saying they spent a fortune for a car (that they park in their garage) and that they really don't like it. Those poor schmucks that can't afford an EV and have to work every day...
Like I said before, I think EVs are pretty cool, but I won't have one. And I won't live long enough to witness the "END" so I will only sit back and be entertained by the naive.

I too like EVs but not when ....C'mon man....no joke....you, you, you know the thing...except when I am sitting by the pool with kids touching my hairy legs...or when ol' Angelo says Billy baby why ain't you taking the train.... I too will be long gone before the end....true story

Private aircraft emit an estimated 7,913 lbs of CO2 per passenger, while commercial planes have an estimated 174 lbs of emissions.

If it is an existential threat, that would be a minor inconvenience. And we are only asking people to do their fair share.

When they start holding Davos and other elite conferences by zoom, we will know that they are serious.

Well, that might help if possible to decrease aircraft travel, but NOT likely. I hesitate to mention a little girl named Thunberg that traveled from Europe to the US by sailboat to prove a point. But, what I am suggesting is very doable - the US just has to increase its new Electric car and truck purchases from the current 8% to 30%. Since Europe is currently buying at a rate of 21%, it seems possible that the US could get up to 30% within 4 years.
......That in itself MIGHT be enough to bring down CO2 emissions enough to restore normal climate to the world. And, also, in 4 years the technology might improve to include E semi-trailer rigs and better buses. I believe that Amazon Prime has some E-trucks in their fleet today and San Francisco has some E-buses running now.

Here’s the problem with that post: This IS normal climate

I wonder if that opinion could be more specific? I just mentioned a link to NASA.com. Is NASA to be laughed at? Are heat strokes to be ridiculed? Since Global Warming is 97% agreed on by scientists to be man-made, then why would increasing US ELECTRIC auto sales to 30% NOT be a LOGICAL solution? I find it logical, not laughable.
.......I seem to sense a DEVOLUTION back to 7th grade where arguments are won by sheer vocal volume and insults take the place of facts or true debate.

Actually, I was shooting for a match at 2nd grade.

Heat strokes?--Yeah, nobody ever had one until the invention of the internal combustion engine.

97% climatologists agree.....That's been debunked about a million times

And for the coup de grace: 4 1/2 million years of climate cycles driven by the power of the sun, Earth's orbit and axis can be negating by increasing sales of EVs to 30%????---- May I repeat?----

One person on here said they bought a lower-priced Tesla for 38K (after credits). That would make it affordable to probably 50% of Americans. Especially if you use it only locally, you eliminate the time spent in a line for gas at Sams. And you have fewer moving parts in the engine, so you likely have more reliability and are more maintenance-free. AT least, that is theoretically possible and with each passing year, EVs will improve.
