yeesh, nikola motors? tesla motors? what's next, Mister motors?

Agreed with original post and haven't gotten too far into the rest of it. I gotta say - I saw this coming a long time ago, one of the big reasons for us not having kids and why I never ever get into environmental discussions(arguments)
My wife and I are car free, but just because we like riding bicycles and never have to fight for parking or sit in traffic
We're all toast because the one thing that could possibly make a difference is something that will never happen. Everybody just stop having kids for x years.

I'm not really sure what happened with Australian made electric vehicles, in 2011 we were teased with this-
Skip to 2020, this retarded Chinese flat pack sea creature seems to be our "Australian made" EV future-

There's no car company called Enzo nor Henry... And if there were, they at least aren't for the same person. I know that Nikola Tesla invented some great stuff, but the nerds are out in force herePoor guy... Just wait until he hears about;

OP has purchased aprox 75.7 cars since starting this thread, including one that has fuel efficiency standard approaching that of a Stalin era, Soviet main battle tank, and has had 3 kids.Agreed with original post and haven't gotten too far into the rest of it.

Make of that what you will.
I also have a super efficient house with soon to be 13.9 kW PV on the roof, and of my three current vehicles one is a BEV and the other a PHEV.
So I haven’t fully given up the religion.
If/when I get a mountain condo, however, it’s certainly going to be at a resort with high powered snow making abilities as our winters get shorter and warmer, though.

You forgot to mention that unlike the Stalin's panzer divisions, his fleet is washed and detailed every couple days.
Higher seems to be the most consistent for colder, while latitude ain't doing nearly as much these days. We only really saw snow at 61N at the beginning of the year, and it's not spectacular, in fact, the next few days will shoot up to 40F again. The only way to escape seems to be to go higher.
I'd probably go for Winter Park. 9,000 ft/2743 m, so well above these doomed Alps resorts, fwiw.
Yep. They are building a new one up here in Hatcher Pass, which gets some elevation and much colder conditions than Girdwood (Alyeska). The snow piles up at the top of Alyeska, like 600'+...but it rains on the lower half all the time and the classic "North Face" is now only open a fraction of the season, often with terrible conditions. If they get new snow, it's a fairly small % above that rain line that gets it and then it gets tracked out in a matter of minutes. The entire lower half is basically un-skiable for being frozen rain hardpack. The new one in Hatcher will take a few years to get longer lifts in, but should be a better bet.
As mentioned- it’s too late at this point so whatever floats the boat!
For us, no kids just means less baggage when running from the zombies, or terminators or A bombs whichever one comes first.
Seriously though, I have no desire to live in a post apocalyptic world so we’ll be the only ones riding bikes towards ground zero

Oil and gas production is contributing even more to global warming than was thought, study finds
A new study found that fossil fuel production by humans is likely releasing far more methane -- a potent heat-trapping gas -- than previous estimates have shown, shining new light on the role the gas is playing in accelerating global warming.

at first glance at the logo, I thought it was a Scion... but then I remembered Toyota is stubbornly resisting all-electric. Still, even the design language is somewhat reminiscent of Scion...
I saw the "apple" and was thinking, wtf!
Hotness. Would buy.
Saw this P* a few weeks ago.
now THAT I can get behind... hot.
There were rumors of an electric CHR which I think looks dope and would be a really fun car if not totally compliance built and instead maybe AWD....I like the looks even if it is a little mall-aggro
I have now been given so many reusable bags that I will never be able to reuse all of them. I have to start disposing of reusable bags.

An oil company wants to use giant chillers to refreeze the ground that climate change is thawing in order to drill for more oil — which will ultimately accelerate global warming
ConocoPhillips is planning on drilling for oil in northern Alaska, where climate change is causing the permafrost to melt.

reminds me of a popular mechanics story or something from oui....what in the actual fuck?

There is a sci-fi where some guy drills a series of tunnels through the melting permafrost, pumps them full of coolant and uses them to chill the ground. This sort of geoengineering is going to be desperately required over the next few years. As for the oil company that is suggesting this, well, all I can say is how are they still legal?what in the actual fuck?

Geoengineering, if it occurs, will fuck us up even worse. Leave the fucking planet to its own behavior and drop the fantasy that we know what we're doing.
like global warming....
I would like to hear your scientific explaination , if you are indeed trying to make a point vs your typical point-no-point.
"leave the planet to its own fucking behavior and drop the fantasy that we know what we are doing"
"like global warming...."
maybe i should of put a question mark at the end of my sentence ?
no snark was intended....
My point was intended to be that the results of attempted "geoengineering" are, in the long term, likely to be as or more destructive than global warming itself.
It'd help to understand your point of view if you occasionally offered a few sentences or a short paragraph.
i prefer brevity...
it seems with the passing of time humans are generally selfish assholes and should die.
nothing new under the sun....
agreed...
JBP, I agree there will be unintended consequences to Geoengineering, but we’ve come too far now. We’ve broken it. The oceans are turning acid, the ice is all melting faster than expected (although not if you were paying attention), the world is literally and figuratively on fire. Insert list of terrible shit here.
I don’t want my children and theirs to live in a dystopian hellscape of multiple pandemics, populist nazis, racism division and violence. Unchecked, have no doubt this is what climate change will bring. We need vast fields of carbon sequestration machines powered by solar farms. We need regenerative agriculture everywhere. We need vast deployments of heatpump bouys floating in the oceans, sucking the heat out and beaming it into space as ultraviolet laser light.
Sounds crazy? Not as crazy as the alternative.

But what if you could make a bunch of money?
i wonder at what point in american history did elected officials figure out they could get rich
"serving" for the greater good?
