Thieves are now targeting EV chargers for easy money. The price of copper is high at the moment (about £9 per kg). They go to the nearest charge station and snip off all the charge leads, causing more misery for EV users. Who could've seen that coming?

You can have your cake and eat it. Here's how you can save the planet by using an EV and not have range anxiety. I can't help thinking that there could be a simpler solution though.

They can easily fix that by moving the sensors back to the colder positions where they used to be.

'Umbrella' the size of Argentina to block sun's rays and cool Earth

Israeli scientists are working on a 'trillion dollar' plant to combat global warming. The team is building a one-million-square-mile 'umbrella' to shade Earth from the sun's rays.

If they didn't adjust the temperatures in their analysis we would be well past 1.5 Deg C warming

And even the "observations" were shown by Willie Soon to have been tampered with, oh sorry, "adjusted".
