Large emissions from electric car batteries

Large emissions from electric car batteries 2017-05-29 10:00 Johan Kristensson 248 Enable Talking Web Huge hopes are attached to electric cars as the solution to the car industry's climate problems. But electric car batteries are environmental culprits in manufacturing. Several tonnes of carbon dioxide have been emitted, even before batteries leave the factory. IVL The Swedish Environmental Institute has, on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration and the Swedish Energy Agency, investigated the climate impact of lithium-ion batteries from a life cycle perspective. The batteries intended for electric cars are included in the study. The two authors Lisbeth Dahllöf and Mia Romare have done a meta-study, ie reviewed and compiled existing studies. The report shows that battery production gives rise to emissions of 150-200 kilos of carbon dioxide equivalents per kilowatt hour of battery produced. The researchers have not studied the individual car brands' batteries, how ex...

SCIENCE LESSON... THE EVIL CARBON DIOXIDE

  SCIENCE LESSON... THE EVIL CARBON DIOXIDE Talk about ignoring science and real-world natural dynamics to pull the wool over our eyes and make fools of us! Anyone know the contrary to this assertion? Is there one? Ian Rutherford Plimer is an Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne, professor of mining geology at the University of Adelaide, and the director of a multiple mineral exploration and mining companies. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology. Sounds pretty learned/credible, don't you think?

Under Biden’s Socialist Green New Deal, Regulation Of Red Meat Will Happen

  Under Biden’s Socialist Green New Deal, Regulation Of Red Meat Will Happen A new book by Marc Morano is a must-read,  Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think , and  will tell you everything you need to know about the socialist green new deal. By: Marc Morano - Climate Depot April 26, 2021 4:29 PM   https://lidblog.com/socialist-green-new-deal/ by  Jeff Dunetz Parler Facebook Twitter Flipboard Despite the rumors, President Biden hasn’t officially announced he will regulate cows and red meat. But regulating red meat is part of the Socialist Green New Deal that Biden supports and included much of as part of his infrastructure plan. Most probably, red meat regulation will be part of Biden’s plan to subordinate the US to China by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by ...

Joe Bastardi on ‘climate change’ — ‘It’s a phony war’

  Joe Bastardi on ‘climate change’ — ‘It’s a phony war’ This from CFACT’S Marc Morano: Gallup Poll finds climate a non issue: Just 2% of Americans cite climate change as ‘most important problem’ Bastardi: "Which is my point precisely in writing my book. It’s a phony war. Not a lot of people really care. But that also enables them to run roughshod over it, because not a lot of people really cared. I tried to point that out to some of the leadership last year, that even though its only a small % that agree with the climate change missive, it is enough to tip an election for one and for two, it has always been a small group of committed zealots that have been able to pull off changes. And say what you want, they are committed and are zealots. So it is facts be dammed full speed ahead." By: Marc Morano - Climate Depot April 27, 2021 12:...

Obama administration scientist says climate ‘emergency’ is based on fallacy

  Obama administration scientist says climate ‘emergency’ is based on fallacy Dr. Steven Koonin was the undersecretary for science at the U.S. Department of Energy in the Obama administration. Koonin: "Both research literature and government reports state clearly that heat waves in the US are now no more common than they were in 1900, and that the warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past fifty years. When I tell people this, most are incredulous. Some gasp. And some get downright hostile." ...  "Humans have had no detectable impact on hurricanes over the past century. Greenland’s ice sheet isn’t shrinking any more rapidly today than it was 80 years ago. The global area burned by wildfires has declined more than 25 percent since 2003 and 2020 was one of the lowest years on record."

Climate policy expert says subsidies for Tesla and other EV companies "one of the worst ways to cut carbon emissions"

  Climate policy expert says subsidies for Tesla and other EV companies "one of the worst ways to cut carbon emissions" Mar. 17, 2021 5:40 PM ET Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) By: David Jackson , SA News Editor 1.13K Comments Dr. Bjorn Lomborg has been speaking and writing about climate science for almost 20 years. His specialty is not climate science itself, but the policies to address global warming and other problems. He is president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School. According to Wikipedia , "He became internationally known for his best-selling and controversial book, The Skeptical Environmentalist (2001), in which he argues that many of the costly measures and actions adopted by scientists and policy makers to meet the challenges of global warming will ultimately have minimal impact on the world's rising temperature... His issue is not with the ...

An Earth Day Reminder: ‘Global Warming’ is Only ~50% of What Models Predict

Image
  An Earth Day Reminder: ‘Global Warming’ is Only ~50% of What Models Predict Climatologist Dr. Roy Spencer 'There is no Climate Crisis. There is no Climate Emergency. Yes, irregular warming is occurring.'   Deep Ocean Warming Could Be Mostly Natural: A related issue is how much the deep oceans are warming. As I have mentioned before, the (inarguable) energy imbalance associated with deep-ocean warming in recent decades is only about 1 part (less than 1 Watt per sq. m) in 300 of the natural energy flows in the climate system. This is a very tiny energy imbalance in the climate system. We know NONE of the natural energy flows to that level of accuracy. What that means is that global warming could be mostly natural, and we would not even know it. By: Admin - Climate Depot April 26, 2021 10:55 AM   https://ww...
