The sun?

No, the planet continues to warm even when solar cycles are on the cool end of the spectrum.

Explain all the ice cubes some 12,000 years ago ... when a warm started again and many more after the rock set (solidified from molten - REALLY HOT - for the nit-picky set)

Zero Emissions Movement Picking Up Speed In Other Countries - Gas 2

At the end of last week, the four major political parties in Norway arrived at a tentative agreement that would eliminate the sale of fossil fueled automobiles by the year 2025. The news media reported the agreement as an accomplished fact, but actually, it is still awaiting approval by the government. More talks are scheduled as early as Monday.

Other countries are not far behind. Political leaders in the Netherlands are also proposing a ban on fossil fuel cars by 2025. India also is considering a requirement that all new cars be electric by 2030.

People generally are pleased when your answer from government isn't sixteen different things and five Idunnos. I'll bet Ontario truckers are absoluteky thrilled with 100 kmh speed limiters and poor fuel choices while in competition with out-of-province haulers

What they should have is 'clunkers night' where hobbyists repair the clunkers as the owner has no hope in hell of ever driving anything better.

How does her sexuality have anything to do with whether or not she saved the world?

By the way, that's another creepy-old-man watch (as opposed to warning. I'll let you know if you get to that point).

... lots of creepy, old men on here.

You must be a collector

Climate Change Action Plan

How many bullshyte euphamisms for "tax increase" can you invent?

It's an "action plan" to raise revenues.

Given that an electric car can't drive more than a couple of hours without a recharge, I think that this is a rather foolish move. Of course Norway ain't that big so perhaps driving from fjord A to fjord B in an electric car isn't a big deal. With Canada 2nd largest landmass in the world, I think the challenges would be greater.

Also, I think they may find that if everybody does what they are doing they may find themselves without their big source of revenue which allows them to be well off as opposed to like Venezuela.
