Jim's EV Adventures

We may NEVER all agree on ALL things, but the one thing that we MUST all agree on forever--violence is not a substitute for discourse. We must ALL learn to live together as brothers and sisters, or we will surely ALL perish together as fools. I do not want to offend anyone on this channel. Far be it for that to be my cause.

Yet, I know that I have offended, and I will offend again in the future--just as some of the people offend me with their absolutely DUMB comments on my videos! They are keyboard warriors, living out their lives vicariously through the Internet while they are safely tucked away in Mommy's basement!

Charlie Kirk was different. While he would offend the mentally weak through his "Prove Me Wrong" events around college campuses, he NEVER backed down and let those who opposed him speak their minds. His presence was offensive to those types, but if you watched any of those events, he never got angry, he never attacked them, he never let it get personal. He addressed the issues and treated his debate opponent with dignity and respect. This is admirable, whether you liked him or not!

I will be adopting more of his approach going forward, although I will continue to make fun of the ICE-zealots who just cannot see life past the end of their nose. My jibes are ALL in good fun. I will be making several public appearances over the course of the next year. I don't expect a cowardly sniper to show up...but I would not be surprised if one or two people who don't like me will show up to cause problems. But know this, know this well...I am retired from the military. I am trained in ways that I do not speak or boast about. While I do not look for trouble, should trouble make its way to me, trouble will go away disappointed! And trouble will not like the method by which it is transported out of my presence, either!

On September 10, 2025, factions of hate and violence thought they had silenced the voices of those they considered "right-wing extremists" by taking Charlie Kirk's life.

What they did, instead, was awaken the voices of those of us who consider ourselves AMERICAN over the position of "left/Democrat" and "right/Republican!"

As someone who believes in the American ideals of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness," I will NEVER celebrate the loss of any of those three ideals...especially LIFE! For without life, you cannot have liberty or pursue happiness. Today and always...I stand with the ideals of Charlie Kirk. Debating is how we settle our differences just like Charlie believed and lived his life.

If you want to debate, then I will stand with you and will even debate with you if we disagree. If you want more violence, you will not succeed! For when you resort to violence and hate and anger and bitterness, you have already LOST the argument. Don't bring those things to my house because they are not allowed here!

Peace to all! And my hope is that you will ALL seek peace!

I am saddened to hear the Charlie Kirk has been murdered. This type of hatred and violence has NO place in my country.

Keep his wife and children in your thoughts and prayers.

The lunatic who perpetrated this vile and evil act does not deserve sympathy! On the contrary…

Thanks for your understanding. If you don’t agree…just know, I don’t really care! I’ve said what needed to be said!

I’ve had plenty of non-science types assert (asserted conclusions) that CO2 has no effect on atmospheric temperatures and climate change.

They always go back to the false science papers of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s that got things wrong not understanding that those papers were produced at the behest of and with the monies of the oil, gas and coal industries.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas? If it ISN’T, then why in the name of freedom are taxpayers funding “carbon capture” programs the world over?

I can tell you why!

1) Because those monies go to the oil, gas, and coal industries.

2) It TAKES MONEY AWAY from renewable energy projects.

For the Fossil Fuel Cartels, that is a win-win scenario. Free money for them and no money for renewables!

Wake up world…you’re being screwed!

Things that make you wonder why people don’t THINK on their own…

If we can build massive pipelines to move TRILLIONS of gallons of oil all over the planet, why can’t we build pipelines to move water to places that need it?

It’s a valid question that won’t be answered by Big Oil enthusiasts.

The most corrupt corporations to ever exist in the history of the world are those that take millions of lives each year. We used to classify that as "Big To***co!"

Today, the innocent of our world are being taken at a rate of upwards of 8.7 million human beings per year. Some NEVER use the product in question.

Just over the past half century or so, that is more than 250 million people wiped from existence.

The product? BURNED petroleum, coal, and natural gas products, colloquially known as "fossil fuels!". The output is not just CO2. It is PM2.5 particulate matter that is SO SMALL, it easily penetrates the human lung and cannot be filtered out by the body. This results in a myriad of terminal illnesses which have NO cure.

Burning "Fossil Fuels" is EVIL! Period. You can hate me for saying so...you can come back with dumb replies. But the FACTS are the FACTS and no matter how much you attack me, they will still be FACTS when the sun sets today.

Evil exists - on the corners of intersections of every city, town, and hamlet in the world.

Does consensus from science matter?

Is smoking harming for your health? The consensus of science is, "We don't know for sure, but there is a correlation between smoking and lung cancer!" If you think that don't matter--ask Morten Downey, Jr. This is STILL the scientific consensus today! Yet, in 1962, 40% of Americans smoked. TODAY, it is less than 12%. What caused the decrease? How many people do you know who have died from cancer--specifically lung cancer? I know too many...and it is disgusting!

Does CO2 cause warming of the climate? The consensus of science is, "We don't know for sure, but there is an undeniable correlation to increase in CO2 and increase in temperature!" But since it does not harm you or I as an individual, there is a lot of doubt. CO2 does not cause cancer. As a result, it has been easy for the Big Oil companies to sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). But the science on how CO2 will warm the atmosphere is absolute. It has been since 1896. The consensus is not reached because the FUD introduced by the Big Oil hack science groups questions where the CO2 is actually coming from? Is it coming from burning things? Or is it occurring naturally?

Personally, until you have spent the better part of four years studying this science and the reports surrounding the issue, I don't really care what you think. I am a free thinking, ruggedly independent, American citizen. I don't depend on the government for my way of life. I don't let other people think for me. I have been digging deeply into this subject for a very long time and I have reached my own conclusion.

Yes - absolutely! Human made CO2 has been increasing due to the trillions of tons WE have put into the atmosphere for more than a century and a half. More than 70 percent of the increase has occurred since 1960. In 1958, ExxonMobil scientists (then Humble Oil) predicted what we would see to day. In 1977, James Black (Exxon scientist) predicted the CO2 increases and when they would occur. In 1984, scientists at Exxon made a prediction to our CO2 levels in 2015. They were only off by 7 parts per million.

Yes - there have been some extreme predictions that have not occurred. Greta Thunberg, AOC, and other non-scientist have become a prime example of the extremists who say, "sea levels will rise by 20 feet!" There are a few facts...that nobody can answer.

FACT 1: Sea Levels have increased since 1896...the year they were first measured worldwide. Almost 1 foot. MOST of that rise has occurred since 1990. More than 5 inches. This is a fact.

FACT 2: Temperatures have increased since 1960 by more than 1.2 degrees C. MOST of that has occurred since 1990. 1960-1990, it was only 0.4 degrees C. Since 1990, it has been 0.8 degrees C. Increase is accelerating. Most people want to point to record high temperatures and say, most of the records occurred way before 1990. Single points of temperature data are not important. Averages over time DO matter. Don't cherry pick a single temperature at a single point on the earth and try to disprove this fact. That would be stupid!

FACT 3: Big Oil and Gas have had climate scientists on their staff for almost 70 years. ALL of them have come to the same conclusion...burning fossil fuels will add CO2 to the atmosphere. Adding CO2 WILL increase the temperatures of the entire planet. At the same time, Big Oil and Gas have spent BILLIONS of dollars through front groups like the Global Climate Coalition to cast "doubt" and "uncertainty" about CO2 and other greenhouse gasses. Think about this...every gallon of gasoline YOU burn puts almost 20 lbs. of CO2 into the atmosphere. To create that gallon of gasoline, it takes another 5-6 lbs. of CO2. 3.6 BILLION gallons per day. 365 days per year. 1.3 TRILLION gallons per year. Almost 34.2 TRILLION pounds of CO2 per year. The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 only added 661 BILLION pounds. That means, just burning gas and diesel in cars is equivalent to TWO Krakatoa eruptions per year. PERIOD. FACT.

I used to believe in "wait and see!" I used to doubt the "CO2 causes warming" assertion. But then, I started to think and reason on my own and do my own research - for literally for four years. Just the facts. Joe Friday kinda stuff.

Smoking has never been proven to cause cancer...so if you believe that CO2 doesn't cause warming in the atmosphere, then head own down to your local 7-11 or Wawa and buy a pack of Marlboro. The same arguments used to debunk To***co is now being used by Big Oil and it is the same group of "experts" and the same "PR firms" that are touting the doubt. But this time, it is not just about causing cancer on a personal level, it is about destroying the entire planet and human species.

Don't let the facts get in the way, though! As for me, I will stick with the science and the math. Again, I don't really care what you "think." Your opinion does not matter. Neither does mine!

What anyone thinks is trumped by FACTS! There is not a person alive that can dispute the three facts I have provided above. They are measured. And to think it is a conspiracy is about as stupid as thinking that man did not land on the moon or that the earth is flat.

Carry on...I will stand firm and fight the global Big Oil Cartels until the day I die! They LIE...I don't!

The CO2 debate is easily settled by answering the three questions posed in this video.

But I doubt anyone who supports the Fossil Fuel companies has the cojones to watch the video, let alone answer the questions.
