Ismay wants to “break the will” - his words - of people who rely on gasoline to power their cars and oil and natural gas to heat their homes, in order to “combat climate change.” “Sixty percent of our emissions come from residential heating and passenger vehicles,” Ismay told an audience gathered to hear him expostulate – using the royal “our” as collectivists reflexively do when they mean to say everyone except themselves, especially when it comes to having wills broken. He went on to say that these “emissions” – of the dread inert gas carbon dioxide that doesn’t create smog or cause breathing problems – “that need to be reduced” – the assertion is taken as established fact – “come from you, the person on your street, the senior on fixed income.”

No matter what it takes, no matter what it costs.

He described “turn(ing) the screws” . . . in order to “break (the) will” of such deplorables. That is to say, the desire of the deplorables to resist being impoverished – and frozen – by well-paid-by-those-who-are-forced-to-pay-them government workers such as himself.

Did you know that if you scrap your a or b emission-rated gas powered car "prematurely", to buy a electric powered car, before you even push the button to make it move an inch, that you already "owe" a huge negative CO2-bill because of that untimely retiring of the not-worn out vehicle?

Anybody telling you that the math of balancing a CO2 account is easy peazy lemon squeezy, is retarded.

The CO2 cost (atm) of producing a middleclass electric powered car is so high, that you have to travel appx. 143.000 miles in it, before it reaches neutrality.. And don't think about changing the battries, tyres or anything in or on it during that time, as that will add to how far you'll have to drive it to reach "0" and start "paying back".

Not compairing to a gas powered car, just saying.

A Danish study showed that the proposed "all cars in DK must be electrical by 2030" only would reduce the collective DK-CO2 emissions by 0.4% .. ZERO POINT FOUR PERCENT and at what cost to the average person?!?!?

Them and their circle jerking, halo-polishing absurdly pricy well-meaningness.. (-lessness) ..

Edit: I looked everywhere for the report stating the above mentioned figures and general thesis, but i'm having a unusual hard time finding it.. i wonder why.. the study was published less than a year ago.

It was published shortly after the Danish parliament rolled out their grand scheme for CO2 emission reductions, which was genius timing, as it seriously questioned the validity of much of their ambitious (and quite expensive) plan.

One can only conclude that either i have not used the right keywords in search of it or that plus they buried it.. i'm a bit suspicious to say the least.

I found a link to a similar study released somewhat earlier in 2019 and as the article shows, such conclusions does not fit the current narrative and must be attempted debunked in the very same article (do translate from Danish in your browser to whatever gibberish you'd understand) : https://finans.dk/erhverv/ECE11332413/nyt-studie-konkluderer-at-elbiler-forurener-mere-end-dieselbiler/
