Photo: michael reynolds/ShutterstockIt’s a hard life on the road, especially when the journey involves politically correct transportation. Regular readers are familiar with the travails of Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as they have bravely attempted to promote impractical travel. The Times identifies David Gelles as “a correspondent on the Climate desk,” suggesting he’s at least open to the idea of inefficient transport. Sure enough, Mr. Gelles reports in the Times’s Climate Forward newsletter that he’s had good experiences with Tesla and its charging network.

Electric vehicle sales are booming, and an effort is underway to blanket the country with new charging stations. I’ve been renting electric cars ever since Hertz started offering Teslas as an option a couple of years ago. Whenever I needed to power up, I found one of Tesla’s fast charging stations and was back on the road with a nearly full battery in less than an hour. But when I arrived in Minneapolis for a reporting trip this summer, the Tesla I had reserved wasn’t available. rentals, this would be a bit of a road trip, the kind of long drive through sparsely populated farmland that is a hallmark of American car culture.

☆ Fact Check-US cities did not sign a WEF treaty to ban meat, dairy and cars
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
No cities in the United States have signed a treaty banning meat, dairy and personal cars by 2030, as suggested in a circulating headline that falsely links a report on voluntary climate goals to the World Economic Forum, which is not affiliated with the report. While the analysis does not advocate banning private cars, it similarly calculates that reducing car ownership and increasing vehicle lifespans could cut emissions by 23% (pp 84-86). The C40 Cities group describes itself as a "global network of mayors of the world's leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis” (www.c40.org/). The group is not affiliated with the WEF and receives no funding from the Forum, according to a list of C40 funders. The report by C40 Cities and collaborators cited in the article does not advocate a ban on meat, dairy and cars and is not a treaty, not legally binding and not affiliated with the WEF.

“WEF Says Fashion Will Be Abolished by 2030: ‘Humans Will All Wear a Uniform’” reads the headline circulating on Twitter (here) and Facebook (here), (here). The online claims misconstrue a report by a WEF partner, which presents analyses of cutting emissions by reducing clothing purchases, among other measures, but does not mention abolishing fashion or the wearing of uniforms. Arup is a WEF “partner,” which Yann Zopf, a spokesperson for WEF, said is what the organization calls its members (www.weforum.org/partners). A C40 Cities spokesperson said in an email: “The report is an analysis of consumption-based emissions in C40 cities, not a plan for cities to adopt. A report analyzing voluntary changes that cities could make to reduce emissions was not produced by the WEF and does not call for everyone to wear uniforms.

☆ War of the worms: Polish politicians give each other a mouthful over edible insects
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WARSAW, March 3 (Reuters) - Polish voters were given food for thought on Friday, as politicians from the two main parties traded accusations that the other side planned to push meat-loving citizens into eating worms ahead of elections this autumn. "For the upcoming elections, PO politicians should write on each poster 'Instead of chicken eat a worm', because this is their real election programme," PiS lawmaker Bartosz Kownacki told reporters. State-run broadcaster TVP Info accompanied Kownacki's press conference with a news ticker reading "The opposition's proposals for Poles: worms instead of meat". TVP Info has been regularly criticised by the opposition as being a mouthpiece for government propaganda. However, PO politicians and city hall officials say this does not mean proposals to force people to lower meat consumption and eat worms are under consideration.
