Bankrupting trust funds means more money to spend on the Ukraine.  The very same Ukraine the democrats have made certain we are going to lose much like we did in Afghanistan.

Before embarrassing yourself further do some basic research.

The Ev industry is being subsidized because China, S Korea, Vietnam heavily subsides their own EV industry way more than what we do. If we do not subsidize our own companies , US manufacturers will be left behind in the Ev R&D and manufacturing race.

The same reason we are subsidizing our nations chip industry to the tune of $52 billion. If we do not Intel and such would go to the country that offers them the  most subsidies.

The reason why Boeing receives tens of billions of subsidies is because the French govt is heavily subsidizing Airbus. If they did not receive subsidies Boeing would not be able to compete.

In your little world you hate govt giving out money but you do not live in the real world.

Why solar and wind is subsidized.  Do you want to buy it for China or our own US companies?
If all of this is so efficient, clean, cheap and wonderful, why in the Hell are our tax dollars going to keep it afloat?  I can see subsidies for basic research, but not the production models.

Even where EVs are useful, the price point stops most, and used EVs aren't worth buying. A 20 year old ICE 'beater' will still get someone across town.. A 10 year old EV is a disposal problem, not an asset in any way.

Boeing (aircraft manufacture) and the chip industry are both matters of national security. In a way, EVs are, too, just not the way you seem to think. Take the hobbles off the oil, coal, and natural Gas industries, and we'll have plenty of energy, without pissing taxpayer dollars down Solyndra ratholes.

Study: Venomous snakes likely to migrate en masse amid global heating

Venomous snakes likely to migrate en masse amid global heating, says study

Researchers find many countries unprepared for influx of new species and will be vulnerable to bites

Neelima Vallangi Fri 3 May 2024 19.35 AEST

Climate breakdown is likely to lead to the large-scale migration of venomous snake species into new regions and unprepared countries, according to a study.

The researchers forecast that Nepal, Niger, Namibia, China, and Myanmar will gain the most venomous snake species from neighbouring countries under a heating climate.

Low-income countries in south and south-east Asia, as well as parts of Africa, will be highly vulnerable to increased numbers of snake bites, according to the findings published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health.

“Powerless in the storm” Climate Industry Misdirection
10 hours ago Guest Blogger 17 Comments

I came across a paper that concludes “The US power grid is proven to be highly reliable in general; however, the resilient and reliable grid operation is increasingly challenged by severe weather events–events that are increasing in frequency and magnitude due to climate change.”  I have many issues with this paper, but I am only going to discuss one.  Apparently peer reviewed papers today require marginal support for claiming increasing severity because everyone knows that climate change affects the frequency and magnitude of severe weather events

The paper in question is  “Powerless in the storm: Severe weather driven power outages in New York State, 2017–2020” (Flores NM, Northrop AJ, Do V, Gordon M, Jiang Y, Rudolph KE, et al. (2024) Powerless in the storm: Severe weather-driven power outages in New York State, 2017–2020. PLOS Clim 3(5): e0000364. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pclm.0000364)

The only proof cited to “support climate change is increasing weather variability” is the reference to this sentence: “The power grid’s vulnerability to severe weather events becomes even more critical in the context of climate change, which is expected to increase weather variability and prevalence of extreme events (e.g., storms, wildfires, heatwaves, floods)”.  The reference included cites the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report: IPCC, 2022: Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.

Newly Discovered 90,000-Year-Old Human Footprints Reveal How Much Higher Sea Levels Used To Be
By Kenneth Richard on 6. May 2024

Human footprints embedded into rock that used to be a sand beach at the limit of the seashore’s “swash flow” and high tide lie 20 to 30 meters above the present sea level. The footprints are dated to ~90,000 years ago.
It is estimated that sea levels were globally about 6 to 9 meters higher than today during the last interglacial (~130,000 to 115,000 years ago), when CO2 supposedly peaked at 275 ppm (Sommers et al., 2022).

Evidence along the coasts of North Africa (Morocco) suggests sea levels were “20 m above the present level” about 95,000 years ago (MIS 5c).

This is consistent with a new study that reports human footprints embedded and preserved in a rocky beach “20 to 30 m above sea level” can be dated to 90.3 ±7.6 thousand years ago.
