Electric cars 'will be cheaper than conventional vehicles by 2022'
The plummeting cost of batteries is key in leading to the tipping point, which would kickstart a mass market for electric vehicles, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) analysts predict.

I always find the Climate change debate a strange one.
The climate has always changed, its just that now we can measure the nuts off it.
I watched this with my son this morning...
Britain wasn't an island 10000 years ago.
Not to say we cant have less of an impact on the world around us.
- You find the debate strange simply because the climate has changed in the past.yuekit
- None of that means we aren't changing it much more quickly now, or that the results won't be disastrous for modern civilisation.yuekit
- Those pasts shifts in climate BTW were often accompanied by mass extinctions. So maybe not the best argument to ignore the issue.yuekit
- @kingkong: but if our pollution is affecting the planet we should minimize that. thats what its all about********

- China emits 25% of all global air pollution, they're the biggest polluter. The US is #2 at 15%. If you bring that back to Pollution to GDP ratio America iszarkonite
- actually doing pretty fucking good. Is there a LOT of work to be done? YES of course, but let's call a spade a spade.zarkonite
- look at these charts: http://data.worldban…zarkonite
- The US (along with most industrialized countries) are consistently becoming better at growing their economies while polluting less per dollars.zarkonite
- Yeah, but the US gutted its manufacturing base and sent it to China, and it has about a third of the population and has been #1 economy for decades. No excuse.detritus
- China's pivot to cleanTech was internal (re: smog) and it has singularly made leaps and bounds in very few years, showing up all us hypocrite cunts in the Westdetritus
- Whilst America invented Solar cells and Carter was mocked for putting them on the white house. Where are those panels now? In China, on display. Our hubris.detritus
- China's masterplan was to reach peak CO2 emissions by 2030 - analysts suggest they'll hit that in 2020, and then some. What's our excuse in the West? Profit.detritus
- We're the bad guys here, not them, no matter what charts you pull out of your rear-end.detritus
- We will see. So far we're leading. Where's the Chinese Tesla? The US are actually shutting down their coal plants, not China. Profits rule everywhere fool.zarkonite
- http://data.worldban…zarkonite
- You can see above that from 2002 to 2012 there's a marked ACCELERATION of Co2 emissions. So much for leaps and bounds.zarkonite
- actually debating with data and shit. good job people.lowimpakt
- 2002-2012? No shit, hombre? 2012's the year they instituted their next social/tech plan - and look what they've accomplished in less than 4 years!detritus
- And as much as I blow smoke up Musk's ass, China's Solar City and Chinese cell production has so far accomplished much more than dear Tesla, but..detritus
- I might be less skeptical if it wasn't for shitty politicians who gets us into endless wars and trillions in debt...IRNlun6
- ... or hypocritical actors who fly their private planes to give speeches on global warming. Do you know what fuels pollute the most? War machines and airplanes.IRNlun6
- Not to mention the manufacturing of batteries and solar panels which are horrible for the environment. Fuck out of here taking my taxes to enrich this scum.IRNlun6
- China doesn't give a fuck about the environment up until their citizens can't even breath so they make small concessions and get praised for it.IRNlun6

Donald Trump Could Put Climate Change on Course for ‘Danger Zone’
President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has called human-caused climate change a “hoax” perpetuated by the Chinese, will have the power next year to water down President Obama’s climate change regulations and ignore the United States’ commitments under last year’s Paris climate agreement.

- Climate change has been happening at very similar rates on all planets in our solar system. It has nothing to do with us...********
