"Greta Thunberg claps back at Andrew Tate on Twitter"
| quote | | Tate had requested the 19-year-old climate activist's email so he could send a "complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous [carbon dioxide] emissions." |
|
The diva of fossil fuels divestment fired back on Twitter with a fictitious email address that I best not repeat on this forum.

The exotic, high-powered cars that Andrew Tate is bragging about, like his Bugatti and his two Ferraris, are likely to be garaged most of the time as collector cars and so, not racking up all that many road miles in the foreseeable future. Ergo, it's the carbon dioxide from the manufacture of these vehicles that counts, more than the carbon dioxide from driving them, when the global warming contribution is assessed. Rendering Andrew Tate's braggadocio about the "gi-normity" of these cars' tailpipe emissions something of a moot point.
So said someone in the course of that Twitter conversation. I thought that was insightful.

Sure,  .
I have a CJ7 Jeep, a 1988 Fiero T top, my F259 diesel P/U, and my wife drives a Toyota Rav 4. None of those rack up many road miles.
Collector car, ???? ? Tell us about them. Does he walk when he is not driving them ?
