Only thing I'd like to buy you is a brain. And that I'd reduce to an education. But not being your mother and you being irresponsible, I'd rather spend my money training your daughters I'm afraid, though they aren't my responsibility. Just that I'm quite concerned you'd tie them to a pig's stove with maga ideology and I'd rather want them empowered.

I remember asking you to leave my daughters alone. They are well taken care of.

I do not think you have a clue what wisdom is bas, you barely understand data and information.

Humans cause global warming, is an established fact. The more of you humans there are the more you pollute, and you shouldn't need a study to understand this. Just step out your house and see how dirty your neighbourhood is, though in your case I'd bet you only need to look around except you've shown reason for me to believe you can not see.

Yes, "Depopulate the world", is the solution, though to ignorant maga you, that means "Starting off with the undesirables", as if you've never heard some yelling they shall not be replaced and China one child and Black Lives Matter etc. etc.

"The world’s population is more than three times larger than it was in the mid-twentieth century. The global human population reached 8.0 billion in mid-November 2022 from an estimated 2.5 billion people in 1950, adding 1 billion people since 2010 and 2 billion since 1998. The world’s population is expected to increase by nearly 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from the current 8 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050 and could peak at nearly 10.4 billion in the mid-2080s.
https://www.un.org/en/global-issues/population

All those people will join already dirty polluting you and pollute the earth with your dirty breath. Except we've found a solution a very long time ago to slow that growth and it's called education.

When men married more than one wife, they had hundreds of children, but the fear of the gods entered you so you now educate your daughters to be worthy of a man to themselves and you teach them to sexually protect themselves so they don't get diseased and can bear a manageable number of children that she and her husband can bring up to do well in life which reduces the growth in population. Even you having fewer children than your grandfather had has reduced the breath polluting human beings on this earth. And there's the maga who is stupid and doesn't yet know that stupidity kills so doesn't take responsibility for its own ignorant stupid maga view and it's own maga death and eventual maga extinction which will significantly reduce the human polluting breath, so why should any one need to depopulate the earth by getting rid of the undesirables that are getting rid of themselves, pray tell me bas?

My own projection for 2100 is 12-15 billion so you know. Impoverished nations will become more educated and therefore cleaner and wealthier and can afford more children of whom fewer will die of pollution and on whom they will spend that increase in wealth to reduce polluting the world their great grand children will live in and prosper. But that depends on your qanon kraken maga view not prevailing, I know, or we might just find the world depopulated to 5 billion breathing human polluters by 2050.

You have people you are responsible for bas, and should watch what you eat so you know what you feed them.

Is Left Biden not giving tax credit so Musk cars are made in USA and not bought from China?

Some hate Musk and drive Musk cars, and some are stupid idiots.

Let us for one tiny moment, just assume climate change is a scam, basilico, can you not see how banning polluters can be beneficial?

Just think that the more gases guzzlers produce, the more their intake by humans increases, or do you think cutting trees and breathing gas will not harm the human race if it doesn't do anything to the climate and the world?

I don't think climate change is a scam, because I am aware that some will hear climate change and at least think about their own environment, which might help oil spills get eliminated in Delta and reduce the polluting gases that made si run away from Portharcourt.

I'll make it clear. Environmental pollution and climate change are not exactly the same. Climate change is a scam because the gas being targeted is CO2. An increase in CO2 results in an increase in vegetation, the world is more greener when there is more CO2. Greenhouses esp large ones pump CO2 to increase crop production.
Environmental poliution by reducing smog and gases like Carbon Monoxide is fine with me.
Climate change was previously global warming, was previously global cooling and God knows what else
Computer models are the ones that predict changes, their predictions have all been wrong over the years.
Climate change consensus is quoted, yet those who ask for the data are never provided.
I also joked some years ago here that those big fuel American guzzlers will cost pennies by 2030 in Nigeria after they "all" switch to EV.
Some people screaming hoarse think power comes from the socket outlets.
Finally this week..
Reality in the form of 4000 dealers writing President Biden to tell him they can’t sell or give away the EVs infesting their lots, so perhaps it would be a good idea to please reign in those mandates.
EVs are not selling enough ( $50k and over ) though JB has $7.6B to setup chargers every 50 or so km along interstate highways

There are ways to ensure cleaner internal combustion engine for health purposes, an outright ban on fossils is madness.
There is no science that proves CO2 causes global warming.If they can't predict snow amount How can they predict that 1.5°C is the tipping point
P/S. I also think oil is formed mostly from natural processes and not from dead organisms. All that oil found all over several kilometers underground , how did that stuff get buried? Was there such abundant life before humans could write.

Years old polluting cars banned from any country Nigeria imports from stupid. Or does 10 year old Camry not pollute you enough?

And what owners do you mean by "charge car owners more"? The ones being extorted in gas tax on top of $45000+ plus huge parking fees and maintenance to drive electric and pollute themselves less, or the Nigerian buying cheap 10 year old second hand filled cars with petrol that's illegal in Texas and that shortens life?

Old cars are not illegal in Texas. However, depending on their age and location, they may be subject to additional regulations.
In certain counties that are designated by the Texas Department of Public Safety, vehicles have to undergo mandatory annual emissions testing in addition to the regular safety inspections.
Vehicles that are 25 years or older do not need to go through emissions testing, but they still require annual safety inspections.
Vehicles registered as antiques or classics do not require either emissions testing or safety inspections. However, these vehicles have restrictions on how much they can be driven per year.
So in summary - older cars can still be driven in Texas as long as they pass inspections and comply with usage limits for antique/classic registered vehicles. Texas does not completely ban older vehicles but does impose regulatory requirements on them.

There are countries in Eastern and Central Africa that didn't have limits on vehicle year of manufacture. As such you would easily find gas guzzling 25 year olds belching on the roads They realized they could reduce the fuel import bills mainly because of dollar demand by restricting car age to 5-7 years These are more fuel efficient. The main purpose was really not pollution or climate change but to stabilize dollar reserves. A country spending a billion dollars a month on importing fuel leaves other import sectors starved of foreign currency, leading to local currencies losing against the dollar.

The main purpose was really not pollution or climate change but to stabilize dollar reserves. A country spending a billion dollars a month on importing fuel leaves other import sectors starved of foreign currency, leading to local currencies losing against the dollar.
You make some good points about how countries in Eastern and Central Africa have historically not restricted the age of imported vehicles. This resulted in very old, inefficient cars on the roads - 25 year old "gas guzzlers" as you described them.
The economic and environmental impacts of this were clearly unsustainable. As you noted, a major motivation for recently imposing restrictions on imported car age (to 5-7 years old) was reducing spending on imported fossil fuels. When a country is spending billions of dollars yearly importing gasoline and diesel, it drains foreign currency reserves, contributes to inflation, and reduces budgets for other critical needs likes healthcare and education.
While climate considerations may not have been the original policy driver, the shift to importing more fuel efficient vehicles will have environmental benefits too. Especially in crowded urban centers, reducing air pollution from old, smoky vehicles has major public health advantages.
As with any policy change, there are some disadvantages and open questions. The higher sticker price of newer used cars could strain some buyers. Maintenance issues can also crop up when people accustomed to older vehicles switch to late models. And it remains to be seen exactly how much fuel import demand will fall.
However, on balance, setting reasonable restrictions on vehicle age seems a sensible course. It allows people to still access affordable transportation while steering countries away from economically and environmentally reckless outcomes. Setting accompanying policies like investments in public transit would also help balance mobility for all income levels.
