What's the status of hydrogen powered cars? I thought it was impossible. 

You can build that  by using Electrolysis :

Electrolysis  is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

But at the end of the day, this in my view would still be considered an electric car, because this kind of system still necessitates the use of electricity.

This climate stuff is way overblown.

Consider than in the 20th century it was typical for a country to lose 10 million people to a war. And the population was less than half of what it is today. So even losing 10 million to climate change will be negligible to the human race. Russia and China both lost 20+ million in WW2 and various kinds of famines.

For climate change to be significant it would have to kill 500+ million people. A couple million people dead is not a crisis, it is a blip on the radar screen. A million people were killed in Ethiopia in the last 4 years. You didn't even notice.

Progressives have lost all sense of proportion.

I've been following your work since 2014. I can say with all honesty, the above is the most stupid thing I've heard you say. I still don't fully compute what I just read. This is redneck level of climate change reasoning. 

What you said here, in my eyes is the same as if you were to have written a conspiracy theory in which you explain how the jews and the Illuminati are enslaving the world through the banking system. 

I hope your views on climate change have evolved since the fall of 2023.

2 things Leo is absolutely wrong about, when I generally agree with him about most other things

- Climate change being "overblown" and not a big deal
- Porn addiction being "overblown" and not a big deal 

Unfortunately the first of those issues trends "left wing" and the second trends "right wing" - but I also know he is not a wingnut, in either direction, like myself, so I am puzzled by his opinions on those.

Its already too late to save everyone. Water is already drying up in certain countries.

As far as I understand it, there is a ten year lag, even if the problem was being take seriously as the biggest threat we collectively face on planet earth, instead its seen as a challenge but one that can be put off till later. But if it was being tackled globally, there is a ten year lag for any results we do today.
