I received two calls last night from energy company asking customers to conserve electricity by not running dishwasher or washer/dryer and turn off unnecessary lights. My first thought was: What would we be doing 10 years from now if everyone was charging their electric car.

Upgrading the infrastructure, which we should have done 10 years ago. Is my best guess?I received two calls last night from energy company asking customers to conserve electricity by not running dishwasher or washer/dryer and turn off unnecessary lights.

Data points aren’t enough to give us a good enough trend line (couple hundred years max vs potential millions of years). Seeing as we were coming out of a mini ice age in the mid 19th century, it would only make sense that temps will trend upward.I believe they use historical averages of temperature to compare. Which, of course has risen over years. Not arguing, data is what it is...take it how you will.
Pretty sure that anyone can find any data to support their narrative. Truth is, right now in history its pretty warm when its warm.Data points aren’t enough to give us a good enough trend line (couple hundred years max vs potential millions of years).

One other interesting fact that helps the “climate change” argument is that Canada left out nearly 50 years of data when compiling their warming report because it didn’t fit the narrative.
Lol. I actually believe your last point is closest to the truth, we’re not as smart as we think we are.Pretty sure that anyone can find any data to support their narrative. Truth is, right now in history its pretty warm when its warm.
It also could be that the absolute truth doesnt exist er at least isnt exactly right or left. It could be this IS all cyclical. Could be that Earth is running a temperature and is trying to kill the virus? It could be alien parents are being sent a homing beacon that only people wearing tin foil can see! It could also be that none of us have a clue.
In Texas they had to thaw out frozen windmill blades with gas powered helicopters using a petroleum based de-icer. The blades on windmills are made with petroleum based products. LolIt is 300% warmer now than when you woke up. Clear evidence of the existential threat of global warming. Now let's kill some birds with our wind farms and drive electric cars that require more energy to run that those dinosaur internal combustion smog skewers.
Sorry. I hate the hyperbole of global warming proponents.
The plastic components in electric cars are made from hydrocarbons, and the metal components need hydrocarbons for the energy to process the metal ores. So much for the new "no footprint" electric cars.In Texas they had to thaw out frozen windmill blades with gas powered helicopters using a petroleum based de-icer. The blades on windmills are made with petroleum based products. Lol

These failure have been more and more of a thing these last few years tho...with our generally mild winters. I can understand when it’s tornado season but there have been stretches where that’s unrelated. Too many damn people or bad management or insert conspiracy here.Funny, but this isn't the cause of our power crisis here. Our grid has never been weather proofed for these kinds of temperature because it just doesn't normally get this cold here. The last time we had a power grid failure was probably 10 or so years ago. It's not the windmills freezing. ;p
