Biig meeting in Glasgow - the worldwide Climate confab. Everyone is doing their best to appear environmentally friendly. Needless to say, electric vehicles are everywhere. Land Rover donated 240 vehicles to "the cause".
Slight problem - no place to charge them. Diesel generators have been brought in.
From The Spectator:
Shock, horror! COP26 has an electric car problem
If absurdity were a source of renewable energy, the COP26 climate change summit might achieve its aim of saving the planet. Yesterday Mr S brought news that local lawyers are set to join rail engineers, transport operators, catering staff and refuse collectors in timing industrial action to coincide with next week’s eco-jamboree. Now Steerpike learns of a fresh crisis afflicting the UN conference: there’s not enough places to power the luxury electric cars needed to ferry delegates around the city.
Some 240 Jaguar Land Rover vehicles including its I-PACE SUVs will be laid on by the UK government to move the 120 visiting heads of state and their entourages between their hotels and the SEC venue. Unfortunately a lack of charging points means the fleet now has to be re-charged by cooking oil-powered generators. A COP26 spokesperson has confirmed that the substitute generators may have to run on hydrogenated vegetable oil – recycled cooking oil – derived from waste products.
More at the site. The more serious a face these people put on, the sillier they become. The more transparent their grift becomes. Our sun is a variable star - our climate has warmed and it has cooled. Carbon Dioxide is PLANT FOOD and recorded levels have been up to 9,000 parts per million - up from the 500 ppm we are at today. There is no cause for concern.
The "science" of climate change is a grift - pure and simple. All about the Benjamins.
