  1. The efficiency of electrical power generation is considerably higher than that of an internal combustion engine.
  2. Do people who object to wearing one mask really wear three masks?
  3. Taking protective measures because you don’t want to stand out is far preferable to not taking protective measures because you don’t want to stand out.
  4. I suggest returning to California might solve your problem. COVID is still with us and here in Thailand people neither want to catch it or spread it to others.
  5. He’s an extreme rightwinger. His intended target is a Liberal. Violent rightwing extremism, it’s a thing.
  6. It’s not a stretch to connected it to Stochastic Terrorism. Use social media to instill hatred and eventually some lunatic in the audience will act on what they believe they are being told to do.
  7. You are right ‘collective spleen’, all singing off the same hymn sheet with the quire master conducting proceedings. It’s an age old story, with predictable outcomes.
  8. You are equating Republican votes with MAGA. MAGA are a subset of Republican votes, they are not all Republican votes.
  9. Climatologists are not telling him what he’s been told to listen to.
  10. There aren’t 70,000,000 MAGAs. There are however a handful of hate mongers and a number of sickos willing to act on the hate they are fed. This particular sicko is on custody, the source of the hate he’s been fed remains at large, for the time being.
  11. Moving on from victim blaming to false equivalence, you’re not getting any better at this are you?!
  12. The media has not been ‘running cover’ for anyone. More conspiracy nonsense.
  13. The top 1% don’t make progress in anything other than amassing more wealth.
  14. When Malthusians are ranting, they are not talking about themselves, Sub-Sahara Africa is a good example of precisely who they are referring to.
  15. Musk has brought this mess on himself. He’s raised expectations amongst hate mongers that they’ll be allowed to spew as much hate as they wish. Does he know the income stream comes from advertisers? Go ahead, turn Twitter into a rightwing hate megaphone, see how long that lasts.
  16. You are of course allowed your thoughts, but once you post them here they are up for comment. There is nothing ‘odd’ about this news (it’s not a ‘narrative’). What is odd, sickening even, is your twisted attempts to misrepresent the facts, insert conspiracy and ‘false flags’. You’ve stepped beyond your usual bias into the realms of deliberate obfuscation and conspiracy mongering.
  17. Minimizing a violent attack on an 82 year old man, just because he’s married to some you’ve been told to hate. Have a word with yourself.
  18. Windfall taxes are not ‘illegal’. The investments made in the North Sea were based in the price of crude, and were being repaid with profits at the pre-war price. Nobody invested in North Sea exploration on the basis of the current war driven crude prices. Meanwhile what is actually happening is the Government are borrowing money to pay the profits of the energy companies, the borrowed money will be paid back with taxes, which you assert are theft, but these taxes are going to be paid for by the public. Cash handouts to corporations to fatten their windfall profits, poverty and more taxes for the public. It’s the Tory way.
  19. 2022 is really turning out to be a fabulous year for Justice. And keep in mind, Shea’s crimes were against the Trump supporters duped into handing over their money to this crook.
  20. Shell have done absolutely nothing to earn the profits they are receiving as a direct result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Everything above the price of oil before the invasion is windfall, wing paid for by increased consumer bills and inflation. The Government borrowing money to give to consumers to pay the higher prices is a direct subsidy to Oil and Gas supplier profits and will be paid for with higher taxes at a later date. The far more sensible and fiscally responsible response is a windfall tax and use that, not borrowed money to support consumers in need. Corporate profits protected by government borrowing is absolute lunacy.
  21. Like you, I use my ‘eco car’ for my main shops only. The rest of the time I use a bicycle (non electric).
  22. Have you considered ‘reductions in usage’ doesn’t have to be ‘no usage at all’. Objectives are achieved one step at a time, right now in 2022, technology is available that wasn’t available a few short years ago, and prices of clean energy sources are falling rapidly. The fact that an objective can’t be met today is not an argument against starting towards that objective. It’s people demanding change that has given rise to the technological advancements in energy that are becoming more available and cheaper. So less of this demanding of others that they go completely off-grid, zero fossil fuels today. Nobody is making tgat argument other than the fossil fuel industry shills.
