Electric cars for an ice age?

Call it global warming schizophrenia. It's the disconnect between what really is happening and what global warming alarmists demand must happen.

For example, many government officials and government-paid scientists insist the world risks being incinerated because humans generate a little more carbon dioxide than they used to. But they completely ignore the reality that CO2 hasn't proved to be a threat, let alone the horrific danger they make it out to be.

Why must they pretend this fiction to be true? Because so much rides on it.

If we have an ice age, an electric car would be a poor choice for transportation.

“Why must they pretend this fiction to be true? Because so much rides on it”

Because to do otherwise would mean admitting they were wrong...and that’s the one thing, above all, that True Believers can never do.

What rides on it?

Why must the global warming establishment ignore reality? Because, they are government potentates whose power and control expands only if warming is a threat. They are government-funded researchers, who conveniently come up with contorted computer models to allegedly prove that warming Armageddon looms, which, not so coincidentally, earns them more government grant money. They are highly subsidized industries that otherwise couldn't pay the rent, let alone turn a profit, without their government checks...Says it all - excellent article.....

CO2 is to be the future’s gold standard, or, if you prefer, the foundation of the next global fiat money scheme. Carbon futures offer a scam big enough to turn over trillion dollar debts. Think Enron times a few trillion of so. Warming is the hype needed to brainwash the suckers.

And so do people. There’s been a batch of stories this winter about people watching their “range-meter” take a dive once they turn on their power-hog heater, in their electric car.

If you turn on the rear window defroster, does(can) the car actually move?
