    And @vman12

    What about the life of the battery and not just holding a charge.
    Will the battery require total replacement sooner?

    It depends on a lot of factors and I'm certainly no expert.

    Typically they'll hold their charges longer (which is why some people store batteries in the frig), but they'll discharge faster during usage.

    How that affects the life of the battery, I'm not sure.

    I understand that it will impact the life of the battery and the pack will need to be replaced sooner than the company spec for them. In this case, probably by the 5-6th year..

    Does anyone know if the new coldest ever record for Moline IL represents the coldest temp in the N Hemisphere at this altitude and longitude? I am betting that this is. -33F smashed their oldest recorded coldest temp by 5F and is also state of IL coldest of all time record. I suppose the AGW faithful will tell us it would have been so much "worse" if not for the "warming"....

    I believe you misunderstood. The comment was a tad sarcastic, pointing out the same usage of current weather as climate change.

    Not what the article said. If you quote something, you should be accurate and keep things within the intended context.

    What you just wrote is more stupid because you are just repeating what others have taught you to think and say

    Either you have serious reading comprehension issues or it is you who are the "hoaxer". The dude testifying did not say that Duluth would never again see temperatures below 10 degrees F.

    As are you. The difference being that you are repeating mindless mantra without having the faintest idea what you are talking about.

    The reality is that there is BS and stupidity on both extremes of the Climate debate. The truth is more in the middle.

    It is not a hoax that there is more energy in the system = "Global warming".

    Talking science with Republicans is useless as they find knowledge threatening. The crime is when Republicans have control. The environment always suffers.

    The science interferes with the exploitation of resources...therefore for the GOP it's better so pretend it's all lies because they wouldn't want to stop making money

    Exactly, Republican capitalists make $ off of the ignorance of every day Republicans, who have major insecurity with science.
