Most of the "climate" champions are buying ocean front property. Obama bought on Martha's vineyard and in Hawaii.

Seems to me they should be buying property several miles inland if they care about their children.
You understand that the problems won’t surface to that extent for multiple generations right?
Seems weird that someone so opposed to the concept “seems” so poorly educated about it.

Hello; Thank you so very much. Many times, in this "green energy-BEV mandate-climate change" discussion I and others have pointed out the cumulation of effects will be 50 to 100 years from now.
More to the point according to the more recent descriptions of previous years even if human emissions went to zero today the theories have been that "warming" is already built in ( locked in) for those 50 + years to come.
I do recall what i believe was one of your posts is that NASA intended to have another look at the older data on which these (locked in) event theories were based at least in part. I fully expect a revised edition which will say something like WE NOW THINK LOWER EMISSIONS WILL HAVE AN IMMEDIATE COOLING EFFECT. Perhaps not so clearly enunciated but a result less damaging to the agenda. Perhaps along the lines of how the hype around Covid and the vaccines was altered over time.

Just got off the phone with my mother. Her neighbor's, 3 houses away, house just burned to the ground. This person's ICE car was in the shop and they were given a BEV as a loaner. The BEV was not charging but was in the garage and burst into flames. The fire dept only sprayed water on surrounding homes to save water and to prevent multiple homes from burning.

I was not told what brand of BEV.

That is now 2 people close to me and or my family that lost a house to a BEV.

Right.

Sounds like another one of your fanciful stories you have told over the years. Those "first hand" accounts that seem to come right on time. :cwl:

I mentioned you and your "stories" a couple of threads back. Like clockwork.

Next week one will explode in your front yard.

BUT, it's a crisis and we need to destroy our way of life right now!

Gimme a break.:crazy:

EV's sold over 10.1 million units last year globally, up 55% on the previous year. Total car sales 67 million globally.

Make of that what you will, but it sure ain't no flash in the pan.

Again, you’re misunderstanding it.
Hello; We or at least I understand enough. I and likely most of us are not against a nicer environment. In fact, I have been doing what i can to have a smaller footprint for much of my 75 years.
Could be with enough time and lots of improvements the problems rampant with BEV's can be worked out. In fact, if the problems with "green" energy production might also be worked out, then the pollution from making the needed electricity could be reduced some.
That is if you do not look too closely at the secondary environmentally damaging problems with these things. We also have to turn a blind eye to the major producers of BEV and green energy bits and pieces such as China.
We consumers have to be forced into electric vehicles, electric stoves, heat pump water heaters and such to "save" the planet while China builds and puts into operation two or more coal fired power plants per month.
And now one of you champions has admitted it is all for future generations. My take on a generation is at least 20 years. Likely could be more in a practical sense. Could be less, maybe 14 years, if using a strictly biological time line, but my society frowns on starting a new generation at the earliest possible time. Point being generations means at least two. So 40 or more years?

Let's us pivot back to the how it is OK for folks today to be buying beachfront property. Surely you can do better than "Again, you’re misunderstanding it."

I think it is a new fire. This from google

The Portuguese navy confirmed the sinking, saying it occurred outside Portuguese waters at a depth of about 30,000 feet. A Portuguese Air Force helicopter evacuated the 22 crew members when the fire first broke out, setting the ship adrift.Mar 2, 2022

The current fire is being handled by the Dutch coast guard, and one crew member died.
