EV Takes 4 Days to Charge

since CO2 is plant food and makes what we eat grow better

Pretty sure that photosynthesis also requires sunlight?

Which subsidies would those be. Please specify.

So do solar panels.

Perhaps you can go into that article and actually tell me what subsidies the USA provides to the fossil fuel industry? (your article references subsides, both explicit and implicit across th globe as estimated by a biased organization pushing for the impoverishing of Western civilization.)

Be precise. Detail which subsidies you are talking about. We will wait.

Kind of like the $6 Trillion a year in subsidies the oil industry receives?

Which $6 trillion. Document it.

That 's not just oil. It includes coal and natural gas, and that's globally..

This article says that it's 5 trillion globally since 2010 for fossil fuels.

[EXTERNAL LINK] - Charted: $5 Trillion in Fossil Fuel Subsidies

"Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total. The remaining 92 percent were implicit subsidies, which took the form of tax breaks or, to a much larger degree, health and environmental damages that were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels, according to the analysis."

So Globally about $400B over 10 years in actual subsidies, much of it by countries like Venezuela and Mexico pricing gasoline at below market rates to keep the mob from storming the palace.

I am in the DC area for a couple of weeks.

Almost no EVs to speak of. Fewer charging stations were spotted.

Chicken or the egg?

No "infrastructure issue" for local travel... which is the majority of travel in the US.

That's odd, because you just named two hurricanes, so obviously there are problems which switching away from fossil fuels may partially reduce.

How exactly may switching from fossil fuels partially reduce hurricanes? As CO2 has supposedly risen (supposedly because measuring CO2 is not actually very precise) hurricanes have become neither more frequent nor more powerful.

So the observational data (real science) does not jibe with the predictions made by the theory. Usually in real science such disparities would be reason to adjust or junk the theory. Scientific theories are supposed to be able to predict future observations, but in the case of anthropomorphic global warming, they do not.

According to this i diot, a couple of hurricanes were Trumps fault.
