There is enough proof that the additional CO2 caused massive greening of the Earth.

Can you explain what caused ice ages? 10K rises and falls in few years?

"_All_ the studies are measuring the same tendency : the temperature is rising"
There could be lots of reasons for that. Anyway, the temperatures were not always rising, clear temperatures rise was observed in 1930-40s and in 1980-90s. Cooling in 1960-1970s. And yes, prediction has to be precise. If a model predicts rise of 3K in 100years, and you measure 1.3K - your model is wrong. It's even more wrong if you don't take into account any of the natural cycles, even if prediction is accidentally correct.

Steady? We have seen 20-years rise after a colder period. Nothing out of order.

CO2 isn't pollution. CO2 is causing massive greening of the earth.

This also means that if you hire unqualified women only because they are women, then your AI will have bias against women.

Just look how much gasoline and diesel was sold. Anything else will give you tremendously wrong result.
Re:Denmark to ban petrol and diesel car sales by 2030

LOL, no. Denmark used 67.5TWh gasoline and diesel fuel last year, due to better efficiency of the electric drivetrain it's equivalent to roughly 20TWh of electricity. Denmark also used 46TWh electricity last year, so they would need to increase their production by 43.5%. It's quite high actually, for Germany the same figure is just 31% (190TWh and 610TWh).
All data can be found here https://www.statbank.dk/ENE2HA.

Re:Tesla batteries will live longer than expected, survey finds

Your numbers are off. Tesla requires 9kg of lithium per 10kWh. If 85kWh model has in reality 95kWh, then you'd need 85kg lithium per car. World reserves of lithium are roughly 16 million tons, so, it would suffices for a bit under 200 million Teslas.
Lithium production was 43000 tons last year, which would produce 500.000 cars, even if we wouldn't need lithium for anything else.

The only reason to switch are moronic German politicians, who require fleet CO2 standard and want to ban ICEs completely.

It's also entirely possible that AfD wins 2021 election, kills all CO2 incentives, after which no new BMW EV model will be built, because they are not competitive on level playing ground.
Re:FedEx reserves 20 Tesla Semi all-electric big rig trucks

Battery alone (for 500-miles range) will weight more than double of engine+transmission+gearbox+fuel of 2000-miles range ICE semi.
Re:FedEx reserves 20 Tesla Semi all-electric big rig trucks
on Thursday March 29, 2018 @08:20AM (#16706365)
2200lb for gas, 3000lb for the engine, 700lb for the transmission. Say 7k lb total. Compare this now to the electric one. The battery alone would weight 33k pounds. Engine and transmission would add another 2k. 5 times more than ICE. The battery would also cost $200k.

It's about battery, not about electricity. You will need 20-40% of additional electricity production to convert all ICE cars to electric, it can be done today. But the battery can't compete with ICE on equal terms.
