Planning 500,000 charging points for EVs by 2025, Shell becomes the latest company swept up in EV charging boom

When Big Oil starts rolling out EV charge points, you know we've reached a tipping point. Yes, idiot OP, Global Warming is VERY real.

You can be certain Whell’s favorite wingnut media outlets will be shouting this out, though.

Calling a libertarian think tank like Cato a wingnut media outlet is asinine. Perhaps you should try actually reading some of its pages rather than just passing judgment.

Cato is certainly a lot more scientific and reliable than CNN, ABC, CBS and other left wing opinion rags.

There are no climate scientists. There are a bunch of hacks who claim to be scientists, but the climate is impossible to define, track, predict or influence.

It is impossible to even PREDICT the weather beyond ten days out, much less predict or even influence the CLIMATE for forty years in the future, which this Greta Thurnbergs all think they are doing.

Has anybody even taken a look at a GLOBE? Most of the surface of the Earth is WATER. Today's scientific knowledge of climate can't even scratch the surface of this wild and unpredictable system.

For someone who denies climate scientists exist, you sure claim a lot of scientific authority.

Let's just say I do not deny wingnuts exist.

Libertarianism is a joke along with the Koch brothers pet astroturfing operation, the aforemention Cato Institute. Maybe you should've studied Tolkien instead of that old Russian lunatic, Ayn Rand?
