Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold: 'A bunch of dead robots

Temps rising, year after year - decade after decade, are not observable facts?

Nope. They became so desperate to hide the decline that they had to start retroactively revising old temperatures downward in order to preserve an upwards trend.

Change is happening, whether we humans are responsible, mostly responsible, partially responsible - most would agree to that.

Deciding what "most" people believe is not science.
Most people thought the universe revolved around the earth.

Try to state an actual scientific theory of "climate change" what specific predictions does it make in response to what factors? What would prove it wrong?
That's science.

People like Galileo are heroes because they looked at the data and came up with real science that made real predictions.

Climate changes all the time. Where I live used to be covered by a giant sheet of ice.

The "climate change" crowd are doing an unspeakable level of damage to science in general. It may take 100 years just to fix that damage.

These people have been making dumbassed predictions for decades and they never even admit they were wrong.
Battery Park is not under water. Plymouth Rock is still where it's been.

Michael Mann lost his lawsuit.

If this was real science the guy would have gladly provided his data to back up his ridiculous hockey stick.

"Climate change" means pseudoscientific gibberish.

Real science makes testable predictions, that are backed by observed facts.

"Climate change" means "I know anthropogenic global warming is bullshit, but I want all the things we said you really really had to do because of it, so I simply going to move the goalposts and make the same demands over again."

Ever notice how the "climate change" crowd hates nuclear power? The one practical thing that could allows us to maintain our standard of living and avoid totalitarian 1 world government while avoiding the problem they claim to care about just seems to always be excluded from consideration.

Next time you corner a climate change believer ask them under what possible set of testable conditions they would actually consider their theory disproven.

Lol you think you're so rational, but every other word you write is emotional. Is your straightjacket too tight?

IMO it is all about $$$$..lining someones pockets for tooting the “green energy” horn and getting $$$ from gov and tax payers. IMO one day the general pop will awaken and realize it was all a hoax. IMO we have been hoodwinked! Well not everyone. I haven’t! Lol. I will still be driving fossil fuel vehicles unless they totally outlaw it and send police and military after fossil fuel devotees.

Remember one of the pioneers of the global warming movement.

Typical ad hominem response to a challenge of your belief system.

You're so sure you're right, yet you can't even describe what you believe in the form of an actual scientific theory.

I can give specific examples and evidence where as you are just stuck saying 'you're crazy'

I am PROUD to be a fossil fuel devotee. I just love the sound of my cummins diesel 40 ft motorhome! AND the delicious smell of diesel burning. I hope to never be forced to get a EV Motorhome where the batteries putter out and go com-plunk half way up the Rockies and the wife is pissed and refuses to cook, make biscuits or make coffee.

Climate change ... means change. Not no longer cold days.

More intense storms. Check.

Changing seasonal crop growing cycles. Check.

Overall average temps across the planet rising. Check.

It depends on the data CHECK

The point of the post(which you ignored,as you do,which is the reason i decided to no longer engage with you)is that 50 years ago the media spooked everyone that the ocean would freeze and the sky would fall on our heads.

Once the climate change one is done,I guarantee the next one will be the slowing of the earths rotation.

Or the poles flipping.

2023 was the world’s warmest year on record, by far
Antarctic sea ice coverage hit record low

So……..WHAT….It is really cold right now.

Reminiscent of the Donner party. But they had supper.

Yeah that is correct. We should not forget it was not beef they ate. Or chicken. Or hogs. Or fish.

Other than charging stations, is there another way to charge up a Tesla? Generator? Though I find it amusing to haul around gas generator to charge up batteries.

There was this brilliant idea conceived many years ago about how to make trains work in all weather. It was called diesel-electric, where the diesel engine powered alternators which ran the electric motors to drive them.

Now how could this be applied to cars...Thinking, thinking...Oh yeah, hybrids!

Hybrids really are the best of both worlds, and should be fully embraced instead of this all-EV nonsense, to avoid situations like the ones in the OP.
