Where Is the Global Warming When You Really Need It?
Where Is the Global Warming When You Really Need It? (thegatewaypundit.com)
16 Feb 2021 ~~ By Larry Johnson
Mother Nature is one angry, cruel woman. At least that’s the word I’m hearing from the chattering lips and shivering bodies of friends in Iowa and Nebraska. Temperatures have plunged to historic lows, including south Texas, and revealed how goofy and detached from reality are the pseudo-scientists blabbering endlessly about the existential threat of climate change–the wind mills that are supposed to cleanly and cheaply turn out electricity froze solid (see Jim Hoft’s piece here).
Guess who else is suffering from the blue lip, frozen snot artic temperatures? Electric vehicles–say goodby to Tesla as a reliable companion if the mercury is in single digits. Talking with an old friend in Clarion, Iowa, I had a full belly laugh as he described his recent conversation with a friend who owned a car dealership.
Iowa has been particularly savaged by howling winds and temperatures worthy of a deep freezer. People with Teslas and other electric cars (e.g. Volt) have discovered much to their chagrin that electric batteries do not like the cold. Severe, low temps rapidly drain the batteries of their charge, and the next thing you know you are stranded next to a corn field in a lonely stretch of road. You just have to hope that you kept your cell phone charged to call for help. This discovery is leading many formerly happy owners of the electric cars to dump them as fast as they can get themselves into a gas-fueled pick up truck or SUV capable of plowing through a snowdrift.
I say thank God for Mother Nature. She’s not angry or cruel. She’s just reminding the silly academics and climate change scientists that their prescriptions for cheap, renewable energy does not work where the temperature hovers around zero and the sun only shows itself during winter for a few scant hours.
While climate change obsession is absurd, it is not funny. People died because wind-supplied electricity stopped working. Women and children died because the loss of power led them to rely on gas-burning stoves that produced carbon monoxide. That said, I am all in favor of the Democrat-controlled states to go all-in on getting rid of fossil fuel power systems and supplies. Why? Let Darwin do his work and rid us of these delusional souls.
Comment:
I keep telling folks, Don't screw with "Mother Nature". Texas should be the canary in the mine and death knell for going complete Wind and Solar energy reliant.
Climate is governed by many facets on earth. It's the Sun, Jet Stream, Ocean currents and the Ozone layer.
I refer you to the first Iraq war by Bush 41 when Sadaam Hussein set the oil wells on fire in Kuwait and parts of Iraq then the eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines.
Remember that cold Summer, where temperatures in New England ranged in the mid fifties and mid sixty degree temperatures in July and August. That was a year without a Summer that had not been expericenced since 1816.
Mother Earth recovered nicely after that....
