The Great Fear of the End of the Combustion Engine Ban – or Just the Big Fear?Do you also know those people who always need some kind of fear and tell you how terrible things will be if nothing is banned – which, ironically, makes everything terrible? This includes the climate change panic-mongers. 
Merz Discovers the ProblemIt has now finally dawned on the magnificent Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz that the strategy of wanting to ban combustion-engine cars is not really good for the German automotive industry and costs hundreds of thousands of jobs. He did not make Germany simply ignore the existing EU regulations. Instead, he heroically wrote a letter to the EU. What a chancellor! Wow, right?The climate change panic-mongers are ramping up again. They have a great fear of the end of the combustion-engine ban. The Electric Car PraiseThey increasingly post about how great and superior electric cars are. Electric cars are simply the future. Chinese automakers can produce electric cars cheaper than Europeans can produce combustion engines. And yes, that may be true. But the Chinese can also make cheaper combustion engines. And: cars built in China are not built in Europe. The consequence is unemployed European car workers. The climate change panic-mongers somehow always seem uncritical of this.Flawed ComparisonsIn a post by Maik Wohler, it says: "Infrastructure: In many developing countries, transporting liquid fuel to remote areas is expensive and logistically vulnerable. Power grids in metropolitan areas, on the other hand, are often available." Interesting, right? He compares power grids in metropolises with poor roads in remote areas. Did it occur to him that in those same remote areas, no power lines were likely installed to charge electric cars?Apparently, Toyota thought of the Hilux Champ for such regions. 2.4-liter diesel, affordable in price. The Limits of the Combustion Engine?According to Maik Wohler, the combustion engine has reached its physical limits. The electric car, on the other hand, is supposedly just at the beginning of its optimization curve and is already winning the price battle. Well, if you look at the price differences between models with electric motors and combustion engines, this argument seems a bit shaky. Electric motors have existed for quite a while. Their development likely doesn’t have major leaps left. Batteries may still have potential. How much? Nobody knows.The Phobia of Combustion EnginesThere seems to be a great phobia of combustion vehicles. And since the considerations in Berlin and Brussels are now leaning toward continuing to allow combustion engines if they can use e-fuels – which probably applies to almost all combustion engines – this likely causes the climate change panic-mongers to break out in fear sweat. Interestingly, these panic-mongers are often the same people who always preach about diversity. So why not have diversity in technology – in other words, technological openness?The Fear Behind the FearBut is it really fear of combustion vehicles? Or is it more the fear that climate change predictions won’t come true, and that this beloved, sacred, daily-preached transformation cannot continue? Is it the fear that there will still be a control group with combustion engines?One might recall: because the vaccine mandate during the much-loved COVID-19 pandemic failed, a crucial control group of unvaccinated people remained. It’s hard to claim that the pandemic could be ended because of vaccinations when the unvaccinated prove the opposite. The 1.5-Degree Limit and RealityThe 1.5-degree limit, once defined as an important threshold for atmospheric warming, has already been breached – at least according to the measurements. Neither coastal cities were flooded, nor has desertification started in Germany or Europe. That will probably not change if the 2-degree mark is crossed. The apocalypse remains absent. If the switch to electric cars had already been fully implemented, it probably would have had no impact on temperatures. One could certainly claim that switching to electric cars would have prevented worse outcomes. But since the combustion-engine control group still exists, that argument fails.Trump, Panic, and PredictionsPeople raged against Trump and feared what terrible things would happen if this man became President of the USA. You don’t have to like everything he does or how he does it. However, he is striving for world peace – quite unlike previous administrations.The Fear of Losing Fear?So what if the climate change predictions, like many other predictions, don’t come true? What do the climate change panic-mongers do then? Which fear will they focus on? Is the fear of losing fear enough to keep fearing? How about living life with a little less fear?Author: AI-Translation - Aaron T. Beck jr. | |
