AOC's Climate Change Documentary Flops
Stopping the climate crisis is a question of political courage, and the clock is ticking. Over three years of turbulence and crisis, four young women fight for a Green New Deal, and ignite a historic shift in U.S. climate politics.

AOC's bid to become a star has failed tremendously. The documentary known as "To the End" has bombed in theatres. It was billed as the story of "four young women (4 climate fanatics) fight for a Green New Deal, and ignite a historic shift in U.S. climate politics."  And of course we know it as the tragedy of the senile Joe Biden being manipulated by leftist radicals.

Here is the trailer:



It brought in less than $10,000 during it's openning weekend. Evidently the 80 million fans of the green policy haven't heard. It must be wonderful to be aprogressive in these deranged times. The danger is when such a narcissist as AOC puts it all out there as she did with this so called "documentary" and faces this level of rejection. For the woman who showcases her entire life on social media it was a wake-up call.

The other three women in this farce are Rhiana Gunn-Wright, Varshini Prakash and Alexandra Roja, but then again, does anybody care?

Although there is some disputable evidence of some kind of climate change supposedly coming years from now, there is no immediate threat from it. Humans will have to learn to adapt and adjust to whatever future effects there will be. Global cooperation and coordination on the subject is not possible....when China is considered to be a developing nation. Alternative sources of energy are unreliable and insufficient to supply the planet's energy needs, and phasing out fossils fuels is a fantasy.

Clearly debatable.

Or go extinct like so many other species.

Doing nothing is not an option.

Nonsense

and phasing out fossils fuels is a fantasy. 

Was the electric light bulb a fantasy? It started out with just two people having the same idea.

Was the American Revolution a fantasy?  It started out as an idea by a few people and was accelerated by essays like John Adams's in local papers.

The climate change crowd, exemplified by fools like AOC,  seem to forget that practically all cars, trucks, planes, trains, and ships are fueled by some kind of petroleum product. That's not going to change much in the foreseeable future.

If, (when), all cars are electric, the US will import 1.5 Billion gallons less because the ill not be manufacturing much motor oil, transmission fluids and gasoline.  Recyling and air polution will be positively impacted.

In the "beginning" everyone thought electricity itself was an unsafe fad like light bulbs.

Now look at us.  Slaves to electric dependency.

A mere 125 years ago, everyone was dependent on horses, raising hay and oats and timber for the wagons and tools.  Automobiles were a fad for the rich.

When the  world runs out of oil, we will find another way.

Military burn pit injuries are real but just a concentration of what has been happening

very slowly for 255 years.

Yes but............

Synthetic oil is a man-made lubricant that consists of artificially made chemical compounds. Synthetic oils are typically created from chemically modified materials such as petroleum components, but the base material is almost always distilled crude oil .

But yes. It would cut down on oil usage.

So what? Think that they don't contain petroleum in their parts?

Even if cars soon start running entirely on electricity or hydrogen, they'll still need 100 gallons or more of oil to make their plastic parts, such as seats, dashboards, bumpers, and engine components . And some day that plastic may be recycled back into fuel.

Cars of old were mostly steel, but the use of lightweight alternatives has dramatically increased in the last couple of decades. Whereas almost no plastic could be found on a car from the 1950s, today's automobiles have more than 260 pounds (120 kilograms) of plastic on board, according to the Transportation Energy Data Book.

"It is expected that high oil prices and strict CO2 standards will accelerate the growth [in plastic use]," says Aafko Schanssema from PlasticsEurope, a plastic industry group based in Belgium.

Plastics improve fuel economy by reducing weight, but they also require petroleum as a raw ingredient.

"Plastics are in fact solidified oil," Schanssema explained.

Although different plastics have different recipes, it takes roughly 0.4 gallons of crude oil to make 1 pound of plastic. Globally, around 8 percent of the oil that comes out of the ground is used to make plastic.

That includes the tires.

Depending on the model, anywhere from 15 to 38 liters of petroleum are required to produce a standard tire.

Also, where do you think the electricity to power all of these electric cars and buses is coming from?

Fossil fuels are the largest sources of energy for electricity generation

Natural gas was the largest source—about 38%—of U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Natural gas is used in steam turbines and gas turbines to generate electricity.

Coal was the second-largest energy source for U.S. electricity generation in 2021—about 22%. Nearly all coal-fired power plants use steam turbines. A few coal-fired power plants convert coal to a gas for use in a gas turbine to generate electricity.

Petroleum was the source of less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Residual fuel oil and petroleum coke are used in steam turbines. Distillate—or diesel—fuel oil is used in diesel-engine generators . Residual fuel oil and distillates can also be burned in gas turbines.

Nuclear energy provides about one-fifth of U.S. electricity

Nuclear energy was the source of about 19% of U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Nuclear power plants use steam turbines to produce electricity from nuclear fission.

So at majority of electricity is being produced by resources that damage the environment.

Then there is the electric vehicle car batteries to deal with.

Production

Because of methods required to mine for its raw materials, and their subsequent environmental effects, battery production is likely the most environmentally damaging stage in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. Research by the European Environment Agency found batteries alone account for 10% to 75% of the energy and 10% to 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the entire production of the vehicle.

If you remove the lithium battery from the equation, production of electric and gas-powered vehicles is very similar and thus, have nearly identical effects on the environment. Its inclusion, however, puts electric vehicle manufacturing’s environmental impact over the top. The same EEA study found production of electric cars emits between 1.3 and 2 times the amount of greenhouse gases than that of internal-combustion vehicles.

Recycling

Electric and internal-combustion vehicles have drastically different environmental effects when the cars are in use. But when it comes to recycling, the situation is completely reversed. As little as 5% of the world’s lithium batteries are recycled, according to Chemical and Engineering News , a stark contrast to the 99% of lead car batteries recycled here in the U.S.

The dearth of recycled lithium batteries has significant economic repercussions, but it also takes a dire toll on the environment. Most lithium batteries end up in landfills, where their hazardous components can leak into the soil and groundwater. Landfills are also a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, the EPA reports. Recycling would also limit the need for mining raw materials, an environmentally destructive stage in an electric car battery’s lifespan.

Virtue signaling environmentalist really don't give a damn about the environment.  Otherwise they would be against EV's.

I have always said AOC would never have cut it as an online content creator. 

She doesn't have the looks, personality, or the brains. 

For a politician she is considered a social media guru. But when she tries to go purely social media influencer she flops badly. Her part in this movie was proof of that.

Don't worry, I am sure the partisan POS Garland will have the two investigations he has going on Trump drag out until midterms are over before filing charges. They have to make sure Trump is the nominee first.

In the mean time the never ending (we don't want to press charges against Hunter Biden; because it will release evidence indicting his human fuck up machine father) investigation will be shut down again well before primaries begin. Garland can't have it influencing the general elections. Hypocritical Democrats and media that blast Durham for slow walking an investigation are completely ignoring the Hunter/Brandon slow moving shit show. No leaks from it either, I am sure the same will not be said about the Trump investigations.
