    “Model S registrations were down 54% in California during Q2, according to Dominion Cross-Sell. Model X sales were down 40%. California is by far Tesla’s largest market, accounting for 40% of total Model S sales in 2018.”

    Just wait, the Republicans will offer up some minimalist offer, the Democrats will say “not enough” no compromise will be acceptable to either side and nothing will happen.
  3. brenthutch
    No, I just pointed out how both sides are retrenched in their positions and that it is unlikely that anything will result.

    Thank you Joe, if I could figure out a way to keep any weapon (not just semiautos w detachable mags) from those who would do harm to others, I would be on board. Regrettably I don’t see a solution that doesn’t involve taking away the rights of honest law abiding citizens.

    That is the problem, the “starting position”, that is why the NRA opposes ANY gun control legislation. It is the ol’ Slippery slope argument. That combined with the Dems need to keep this as an issue ensures that nothing will happen.

    I would but we are flying. After being trapped in a car for 12 hours in DC and OBX traffic with a sciatic nerve acting up, I swore never again.

    Given that humans have been around for around 200,000 years “imminent” could be interpreted as the next thousands years. And when they say “catastrophic” what they really mean is benign.

    J Gergis is a she, and why does the “one person” I site spewing apocalyptic climate nonsense have dozens of names?

    https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-do-scientists-measure-global-temperature ”work out what global temperatures are” = use models to fill in the blanks

    UN IPCC scientist Joëlle Gergis declares climate ’emergency’: ‘My grief is rapidly being superseded by rage. Volcanically explosive rage’ – ‘The very foundation of human civilization is at stake’ And that is an IPCC scientist talking, hardly a political loon.

    ”fossil fuels have not taken a naturally safe climate and made it unnaturally dangerous, they have taken a naturally dangerous climate and made it unnaturally safe.”

    It is not the lack more extensive coverage that leads to overstating temps it is the use of models to fill in the blanks. Recently NOAA claimed an all time record high for an are in SE Africa (an area where no actual readings were taken) people on the ground did not witness anything close to what NOAA claimed
  13. brenthutch
    Exactly to which natural cycle/cycles are you referring?
  14. brenthutch
    So it was warmer seven years ago, still waiting for that imminent catastrophe. The reason I mention the US is that it is thoroughly covered in state of the art meteorological stations that actually measure the temperature whereas the global temperatures use modeling to fill in the blank spaces (about 96%), using models that overstate the greenhouse effect of CO2. ”reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled” RF

    Imminent catastrophe update https://www.noaa.gov/news/alaska-had-its-hottest-month-on-record-in-july To sum up, YTD Temperature is average, drought conditions and wildfires are low, hurricanes nearly nonexistent. Looks like we don’t need a green new deal after all.(but look at NOAA’s hyperbolic headline)

    What about disabled citizens?

    No, it is a basic matter of the freedom of the individual vs the tyranny (potential or actual) of the collective. In that regard Islamic fundamentalists are no different than socialists, communists or fascists.

    No need for a link, DuJour means “of the day” Please read Federalist #46 and get back to me
  19. brenthutch
    Agreed, I will give the benefit of the doubt.

    The second amendment was not about hunting, or personal protection, it was explicitly about the ability of a populace to rise up and overthrow a tyrannical government by what ever means necessary without regard to the weapons DuJour.
  21. brenthutch
    Thank you for your clarification, however it is difficult to interpret “fuck you” as anything other then a personal attack.
  22. brenthutch
    That just shows that you lack the fundamental understanding of the second amendment. Sober up, get some sleep and hope that the moderators continue their leftist bias

    So you agree that Heller is the law of the land. Good, we are making progress!
  24. brenthutch
    I am curious, since you have claimed the IPCC is the gold standard and pinnacle of peer reviewed science, I would like you to reconcile your position on AGW with that of the IPCC, with regard to floods, droughts and hurricanes.

    Or battleships that could be had by any citizen with the means. I’m afraid that I must disagree with you, that anyone may possess the most devastating killing machines of their era.
