Global warming is nothing to worry about. We should be glad we live in the Modern Warm Period, when crop yields are higher, rain patterns are easier to predict, and there are less deaths by plague. Just like the past few warm periods.

The Biden administration on Friday tightened vehicle fuel mileage standards, part of its strategy to transform the American auto market into one that is dominated by electric vehicles that do not emit the pollution that is heating the planet.
The new mileage standards announced by the Transportation Department are among several regulations the administration is using to prod carmakers to produce more electric vehicles. In April, the Environmental Protection Agency issued strict new limits on tailpipe pollution that are designed to ensure that the majority of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States are all-electric or hybrids by 2032, up from 7.6 percent last year.
In addition to the regulations, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, championed by Mr. Biden, provides tax credits for buyers of new and used electric vehicles, along with incentives for charging stations and grants and loans for manufacturers.
The push for more E.V.s comes as the world’s leading climate experts say that retiring the internal combustion engine is critical to staving off the most deadly effects of global warming.
But Mr. Biden’s efforts have become a meaty target for former President Donald J. Trump and other Republicans who frame them as the federal government taking away consumer choice. The oil and gas industry is spending millions on advertising that falsely calls Mr. Biden’s policies a ban on conventional cars.
Mr. Trump has made attacks on electric vehicles a mainstay of his campaign to retake the White House, falsely saying they do not work, cannot travel far and will “kill” the American automobile industry. Mr. Trump has promised that if he is elected to a second term he will undo Mr. Biden’s climate policies, including federal support for electric vehicles.

Stop undermining the government with your malinformation!

Yeah , they just tear up the earth and create more Toxic waste than any other industry ever.
electric vehicles are a very very expensive disposable razor of transport , no one wants it after you so throw it away ,even the dealer that sold it to you doesn’t want it back
The people that push/mandate EVs know nothing about them and mandating them when there’s no infrastructural is insanity
that falsely calls Mr. Biden’s policies a ban on conventional cars.
falsely saying they do not work, cannot travel far and

Let’s call spade a spade!
There is nothing false in those statements.
Only NYT is falsely reporting on these!
No report how much money China is pouring in to the EV market propaganda?
How about the world enviro impact of the battery component minerals mined at greater DAMAGE to the planet than millions of gas run auto exhaust? No thought about that or the slavery it entails. Of course not.
As James Taranto at WSJ used to say in The Best of the Web Today, "what would we do without "experts"?
Unfortunately, these idiots are bound and determined to make our lives miserable.
Meanwhile in Normandy Biden plagiarized Reagan. This is so bad it’s good.

"Biden Administration Tightens Mileage Rules to Buoy Electric Vehicles"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Corrupt Congress is wrongly ignoring that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific powers to do what OBiden is doing in the name of politically correct global warming alarmism.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, the 2024 elections are about getting rid of corrupt Congress as much as it is electing hopeful Trump 47 for the third time. Patriots need to support Trump with a new patriot Congress, not only so that he is not a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, the new Congress also supporting Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.
China’s EVs explode at an alarming rate or just fall apart
Please stop asking hard questions. /s
Yeah.... like everybody wants an EV to spontaneously combust while parked in their garage. Appears to be a twofer.... take out the car and the home. Idjits.
TOTAL BULL DROPPINGS
The government can inject ten trillion quarts of adrenaline into the EV industry. It’s a niche at best.
Interesting how the Slimes is so brave as to say it is False what Trump said, taking a ridiculous literal view of “do not work”.
