Brilliant observations and a chilling analysis Barry, thank you. What's happening today reminds me of what happened in the late 70s and through the 80s in America with the gas guzzler tax. My father spent his whole life in the automobile business and the Gas-Guzzler tax was imposed at the time American interest rates were the highest in history as well as gasoline prices. And millions of people were driven into shock by propaganda media and high gas prices going into debt to buy Japanese, European cars. Prices on full sized in luxury automobiles and trucks plummeted while prices of new Hondas, Volkswagons and even SAABs, Peugeot diesels and Audis were selling for 20% to 100% over over sticker price. I recall people coming to our Car dealerships and pleading with for a "Gas-Saver". My Father had been one of the first Honda and Subaru Dealers in America and he could not get a New Honda or Subaru. Along with sticker shock and shock from high interest rates, and explained that if they drove 12,000 miles a year (what the average American drove), that the amount money they saved in fuel over driving a Honda vs. a Cadillac, Lincoln or pickup-truck would hardly offset the interest payments on a new Honda, and they could buy one to two year old gas-guzzler for 1/2 to 1/3 that of a used Honda. During the first years of the Gas-Guzzler tax we sold three to five Gas-Guzzlers to every 'Gas-Saver' but many people emotionally driven by shock and propaganda, like EV buyers today, paid a lot in debt cost and took it in the shorts when gas prices, interest rates and resale prices on used gas-savers tanked. One of my father's friends, Malcolm Bricklen tried to cash in on the gas-saver panic, years before during the first gas price hike, Malcom set my father up as the first Subaru dealer on the West Coast selling the Subaru 360 mini cars. People actually traded in their perfectly good gas-guzzlers for the little Subarus with the U.S. Government banning them as a road hazard shortly after. Later in the 80's Malcom set us up as a Yugo dealer before we ever saw one. We sold about 20 of them to people who had to have one, but later gave the franchise to a friend with a SAAB store as we did not want to tarnish our reputation by selling such a piece of sham junk. I suspect Barry that we may see something similar in the UK and US as automakers fold and China makes it's move on the global car market, people could end up paying as much for a very basic Chinese EV as they do now for a luxury car, and many people not being able to buy a new or use car at all.
if the EXPERTS are so concerned about CO2 in the atmosphere, google amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and then google the amount of CO2 pumped into green houses needed for plants to grow,/ the amount of CO2 in fizzy drinks / the amount of CO2 produced by humans at rest and exercising thats just a small example
You should be concerned about 2.6°C global temperature increase which will surely come, we reached 1.5°C already. One degree means 7% more energy in the atmosphere. More energy means heavier storms and rains, e.g. the amount of rain per year coming down in 8 hours as we have seen recently in Spain.
Yes, plants need CO2. Yes, to an extent if you are growing large numbers of plants in a small volume of air, increasing the CO2 in that volume can help. No, this does not apply to the open air. It is a totally different situation. Increasing the amount of CO2 in the greenhouse is not the same as increasing the concentration of CO2. That will increase a little, but the plants are taking up that CO2 - that is the point. So the concentration does not rise in proportion to the amount you feed into the greenhouse. Plus, of course, the greenhouse effect of the CO2 in that greenhouse is tiny and irrelevant. Comparing a greenhouse with the whole of the atmosphere of the earth is totally wrong.
@@gerbre1If you’d read the primary scientific literature instead of relying on Greta, Google and the Rockefellers, then you’d know that CO2 is such a weak greenhouse gas that it cannot possibly “drive” global atmospheric temperatures. That’s consistent with the long run of direct & indirect estimates of global atmospheric [CO2] & temperature, respectively. These reveal that, on every occasion, a change in temperature is followed and not led by changes in CO2, indicating that at least one additional factor drives temperature changes I’m sure you can guess what that factor is. These results have been published by more than one research team. The entire global climate boiling change nonsense is a lie. It’s not a mistake. There’s fraud in every dimension of this globalist-selected lie. The same people also gave us several faked pandemics and wrongly claim that we’re “overburdening the planet”.
@@GT380man Of course it does. Quote: The probability of compound flooding (storm surge, extreme rainfall and/or river flow) has increased in some locations and will continue to increase due to both sea level rise and increases in heavy precipitation, including changes in precipitation intensity associated with tropical cyclones (high confidence). Quote: The severity of very wet and very dry events increase in a warming climate (high confidence), but changes in atmospheric circulation patterns affect where and how often these extremes occur. Water cycle variability and related extremes are projected to increase faster than mean changes in most regions of the world and under all emissions scenarios (high confidence).
I bet the same was said when the first cars came out, too expensive, where to fill up, and so on .. have to move with the times or we would still have horse and carriages ..
Read the Daily Mail today,,,full page spread ,,damning verdict on EVs,, ,,,in essence bearing pit EVERYTHING that Barry espouses regarding EVs 👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Just a bit of confirmation bias for you. The average Daily Mail/Express reader is in there 60s so the narrative is similar to this channel and all the other ones that generate revenue by creating outrage from it's reader's/viewers.
why would you buy a new one?? anything over 3L is usually well looked after, the difference in dep would buy a petrol station. and no NOx which is worse than CO2. Need CO2 to exist its the NOx that kills people..TBH when the arse falls completly out of market used EV for 5-10k for town and a nice old barnstromer for long runs is cheaper than a fancy new car…. even at 2pound/L you could pick up a cheap zoe and leave the V8 for the weekend
@@RichieKeane This is what I think is a likely scenario for many cases, at least for suburban dwellers with drive space. Daily commuter being an EV (if you want one) and an ICE second car for longer journeys or for fun (V6, Golf GTi etc). People in flats or without home charging are likely to stay with ICE in the near future. At least until an EV can do 400 miles on a charge, charges in 10-15 minutes and is at a price the working man can afford. That could be 10 years away. Maybe it won’t happen, but I think it will. The pieces already are there. 400 miles, tick. Charge in ten minutes, tick. Price parity with ICE, tick. But, there is not a car that does all three…..yet.
@@javelinXH992 grid cannot charge thousands of 130kw cars (reall400miles) on the scale needed. Fuel cells and bio gas are the obvious solution but the IP is not with the communists and its too close to O&G. even if cars were 100% clean they would still find away. Break dust tax is next, general offence tax will be next
there's your market manipulation, without an artificial penalty on everything ICE you run the risk of having unfavorable numbers for EVs. It's complete bull
having just spent last week buying new used car as my EV is being sent back 2yrs early and i hope it bankrupts the lease company. Bought a cracking used V8 petrol as now same price with petrol price v on road charging and losses in BIK/depeciation . All dealers saying buzy but all dead and begging to shift the used EV…. even cayanne hybrids sitting.. only cars that are shifting are small cheap diesel and petrols. My company has sent full EV fleet back. push for ev vans is so the cousins of leyland never have to work. proven lost costs from labour standing around charging vans is 17k per year per unit…..
What i want is for people to stop lying about EVs, thats what i want, some people like you are taken in by them, Im not after 50 years in the car trade I know better, if you want to waste your money, thats up to you, well done, hope you find a channel to subscribe to that spouts misinformation that you want to believe, how sad!!!
Your information is way out of date and misguided. The only reduction in EV sales are from Legacy Car companies that make very poor EV's which are extremely over priced and sold by dealerships that dont want to sell them as they lose a fortune on servicing because they dont need a service. In 2023 the Tesla Model 3 was the number 1 selling car globally The problem you have is that people actually want EV's because they are cheaper to run and a pleasure to drive Personally I dont give a flying fig what you think, you can keep on driving ICE cars until you drop, but the fact is we now have a cleaner, cheaper and much more pleasurable car to drive. Tesla makes 17% on each car they sell yet Ford lose £40,000, legacy guys are not committed to making a profitable EV as they are stuck in their ways but the rest of the world can make them profitably so the writing is on the wall as VW is finding out, having to shut down factories.
out of date? its less than a week old, just because you dont like what i have to say doesnt mean im misguided, everything i say is backed up with proof, so dont be silly
@@MrLeadb1 I know atleast a dozen ppl who have completely switched to EVs in their entire family after trying one EV. Why would it happen? It's more likely that five years from now you will be driving an EV (if you aren't already) and thinking omg, this thing is good 😊... You suffer from resistance to change
Also, Sandy Munro, a car industry guru who's spent decades as a manufacturing consultant to American, Chinese and European car companies said that eventually the world will have just a few car companies such as BYD, Tesla and Possibly Ford, and the VW may be gone. A few days ago he told a story about how in 2019 Chairman XI preempted his speech to say: '''There's 650 car companies, I want to see about 150 by the time we get to 2025, we're all brothers so figure it out!.' It was kind of a sad audience after he stopped talking. Today, there's about 160 car companies. No that's not how a entrepreneur things, that's how a financial guy or a Harvard guy would think" th-cam.com/video/iDoyGFExJgY/w-d-xo.html
