The only chart where Italy clearly outperforms neighbouring countries! 🍕 A side note for any European who wants to feel superior: the Italian minister of infrastructures has declared recently, speaking about a deadly bus accident which had strongly shocked public opinion, that the vehicle being electric can not be ruled out as a cause for the event, implying that endothermic engines are still preferable (source).
That's what you get when you vote dumb fascist politicians into power. I bet it's not the first time some erratic explanation was given from one of those right wing politicians.
Yes, agreeable (I would not have used those words though, the real danger is not in this minister nor in his party). But why do you think they were elected in the first place and why is their consensus soaring day after day? Are people just "dumb"? Misinformation? Distrust of more moderate parties who did nothing to prevent the current crisis? This is a place for discussion.
The bus being electric, means the firefighting procedure is the same as with electric cars: wait for it to burn up... along with anyone still trapped inside.
Electric is the future, but don't forget that:
Gasoline ignites at -40C, needs oxygen
Diesel ignites at +50C, needs oxygen
Biodiesel ignites at +130C, needs oxygen
LiPo batteries can ignite at -200C if punctured, will burn underwater
If one person has been killed in a fire, that's bad. If the fire killed two people, that's worse. If it killed 100 people, that's even worse.
There is no magical point where you say "Oh, there are 42 people that we could rescue, but we won't, because 600 people have been killed already and that somehow makes the rescue pointless".
If we can reduce suffering by just a bit, and delay the worst just a bit, then it's worth it.
Don’t worry about it. Everyone dies eventually, and most of US will be dead before it gets unlivable. Just enjoy the fall of humanity! It’s gonna be a wild ride.
There's another set of graphs on that page that do show we are setting more high temperature records and fewer low temperature records over time, which while not really what I was saying, is still relevant and interesting (and scary)
