Question, you mention coal in regards to the two photos. Did China shutdown power plants as a result of the virus? I mean this as a legit question.

China cut coal powered powerplant operations by about 1/3 in additional to way, way less vehicles on the roads during the virus shutdown.

While you can probably find "scientists" on both sides of the isle, I believe this guy, climatologist, PHD, former NASA scientist, Dr. Roy Spencer.....http://www.drroyspencer.com/global-warming-natural-or-manmade/

Here's a quote from his website:
“Global warming” refers to the global-average temperature increase that has been observed over the last one hundred years or more. But to many politicians and the public, the term carries the implication that mankind is responsible for that warming. This website describes evidence from my group’s government-funded research that suggests global warming is mostly natural, and that the climate system is quite insensitive to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions and aerosol pollution.

I know I could look it up, but would you happen to know what China uses for the other 40% of their power? Assuming it is not solar, hydro, etc. did they scale it back as well?

you can jump up and down all you want that you could, or the other poster could, find ONE guy that says that NASA is wrong. Good for you! 97% of the climate science community disagrees with Roy Spencer. I hope he's right, but I wouldn't bet on it, after all, he's stated his political bias “I view my job a little like a legislator, supported by the taxpayer, to protect the interests of the taxpayer and to minimize the role of government.”

but go right ahead and feel victorious! Ride it like a cowboy!

It’s not that bad. I take the Raptor out at least once a week. It’s otherwise been staying clean in the garage, while I drive my wife’s car on rainy days.
