does CO2 cause climate change - nobody knows for sure but let's say it does, then the solution is the above

Upstate New York Woman Killed in Tragic Amish Buggy Crash



A pick-up truck, driven by 31 year-old John Leathly of Chittenango, ran into the back of an Amish buggy on County Route 41 in the town of Richland, Oswego County on Sunday, June 6.

This isn't the first fatal Amish buggy crash in Upstate New York. One man was killed and another was injured in a fatal crash in Gouverneur, New York.

How does that even happen?

Texting while driving I guess?

Popular opinion indicates that vasectomy is a prerequisite for going ev like soy latte etc

We know more CO2 causes plants to thrive.

And we also know CO2 is only 0.04% of the earth's atmosphere and at 0.02% all life on earth dies.

Personally I think most have no clue what CO2 even is, yet they make it their life's mission to reduce it. Some might call those people "useful idiots" even.

It's not quite that simple, look up where most of the O2 comes from and how the ocean is connected to it all.

If you haven't got it yet you most likely never will.

96 percent of the earth’s species were extinguished at the close of the Permian period (252 million years ago -MYA). The extinction interval is fairly short (thousands of years) and recovery began within a few million years of extinction.



Figure 3 is a graph of the global carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature curves for the last 600 MY. The end of Permian extinction occurred at the close of a long period of very low CO2 and temperature values during deep global cooling associated with an ice age.


During late Carboniferous and Permian time atmospheric content of CO2 hit rock bottom at less than 300 ppm. This was also a period of cyclical ice ages with global glaciation. Fig. 3 shows that during this period temperature, also, was at historic lows. The cold oceans sequestered additional CO2 from the atmosphere stressing all plants, marine and land, a tipping point was reached where the plants died, the food chain collapsed and 96% of earth’s species became extinct.

If we examine Fig. 3 closely, it is obvious that the current status of temperature and CO2 is very similar to the end of Permian time and the extinction event; therefore, we are vulnerable to the same demise.

Yes by all mean continue defining CO2 as the reason for climate change because it is. It is the reason you are still alive.

Well, they run buy one get one free EV sales in Chyna, why not the EU?

How so? Do you have to gas them up instead of plug them in?

Its the same thing; reactionaries reacting.

Nothing like communists in control of the "means of production" to over produce. Maybe they can toss a car in with all those apartments in China’s Uninhabited Ghost Cities?

It happens because you have a buggy traveling at what, 15 mph maybe? On any road they please in the middle of the lane. Just stupid.
Back in 2000 I was a wrench for a motorcycle race team. Also drove one of the semis. Cutting up through Indiana on a two lane 55 mph road I come around a blind corner and there is one right in front of me. God was with him that day. No on coming traffic. I swerve into the other lane and blow past him. Must have been nerve racking for him.

I live in Virginia and road trip the east coast extensively including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Western Virginia, so I've had plenty of Amish buggy encounters. My comment on this pic is the road seems pretty much straight and unencumbered by sight lines. It looks like the pickup just ran right over the buggy.

No worse than coming up on a group bicyclists IMO.

Texas just legalized Kei trucks.

Nah. It's just the internet Left trying to place the idea that 19th century Americans pushed back hard on the transition to the automobile from the horse as vigilantly as we are pushing back on the EV transition from ICEV. It just wasn't that way. Within 10 years of the introduction of the full-rate production automobile (i.e. not the proof-of-concepts from Benz, Ford, et.al.) the adoption was robust. There was no Federal Government-forced adoption; the market took care of itself. The automobile and its offshoot, the farm tractor, were VASTLY superior to the horse and oxen with respect to work output, maintenance, and cost. The internet is trying to convince everyone that the modern reluctance to EV adoption is just the same as the reluctance to transition from the horse to the automobile in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's just not true.

Not kidding, I'm surprised you were able to find this on the internet. This is straight out of peer-reviewed geology and paleontology textbooks published before the internet. I did not think true scientific information such as this existed on electronic media within the internetsphere.

Well done.

I don’t know what that has to do with horses.
