Why does no one in the mainstream media ask the hard questions of these people?  Why do they not vet not only their extreme claims, but what they have said in the past?

Al Gore: His idea that Net 0 would mean warming would stop is absurd. You can’t say its a lie, because it is a future event, but what possible proof does he have of that? I can say the sun is coming up tomorrow and back it up with the idea of persistence and science. Or water will freeze at 32. But from the man who can’t understand (along with, it seems like, all these people) that if the Arctic is not warming in the summer and the mean summer temp is not far from 32, the ice cap not only won’t melt but can’t, is yet another example of his utter ignorance. It is breathtaking

John Kerry is going after our food supply. Kerry wants to wreck farming because it contributes to greenhouse gases and warming. Let me get this straight. Of the .042%of the atmosphere that is CO2,  man has contributed about 5%. Of that 5%, agriculture is a tiny fraction perhaps 10%. Now let us take a country like Denmark, where farmers may be forced to shut down farming. What does Denmark contribute to the planet’s CO2?.  SO LITTLE IT APPROACHES ZERO. Yet Starving people and sending food prices through the roof is fine with Kerry. No wonder he got a D in Geology.

Mercedes and Volkswagen DITCH their EV ambitions!

Well, the initial slow drip of auto manufacturers walking away from their foolish EV promises has now turned into a flood. Almost every week, you read of yet another automaker desperately backtracking on their electrification plans as the market dries up and sales plummet. The latest car makers to cave and back away from these mad electrification plans are Volkswagen and Mercedes, who have hedged their bets with more hybrids, allowing production of internal combustion engines to continue. There’s also more good news from Mercedes, which we’ll get to later in the video.

This isn’t rocket science. There’s a simple principle which these manufacturers should follow if they want to be successful: build the cars people want and to hell with what the government says. Welcome back to M-Guy, British engineer and lawyer, now Sydney-based YouTuber. Be sure to follow me on the usual socials for more content, links in the description, and there’s a code on screen; scan that with your phone if you want to sign up for an occasional M-Guy email. It’d be great to have you on board.

Bloomberg reports on how Volkswagen’s EV fantasy has just collided with reality. Volkswagen walks back EV or bus strategy that rankled rivals. CEO Oliver Blumer is turning to hybrids and striking partnerships as EV sales slow. Volkswagen AG’s all-in on electric vehicle plan is no more. The namesake VW brand, which pitched its ID family of electric cars as central to its future, admitted last week it will need more plug-in hybrids as EV sales decelerate. This marks just the latest adjustment VW has made to its electrification strategy after the company botched several model releases and fell behind in China, where local brands now dominate. The manufacturer has also shelved efforts to seek outside investors for its battery unit and scrapped plans for a 2 billion Euro ($2.2 billion) EV factory in Germany. In fact, the automaker is selling so many cars still running on combustion engines that it’s on track to overshoot its emissions allowance next year, leading Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blumer to ask European regulators for leniency.

Story by Issac Jones • now

The United States Navy encounters sharp criticism as it navigates a contentious modernization trajectory that phases out established assets such as the Los Angeles-class submarines in favor of untested, expensive alternatives.
