NUance Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 The UK just gave the car industry 15 years to ditch fossil fuels By Charles Riley, CNN Business Updated 1338 GMT (2138 HKT) February 4, 2020 London (CNN Business)Britain will ban sales of new gasoline and diesel cars from 2035 — five years earlier than planned — heaping pressure on an auto industry that is already struggling to cope with a global sales slump and the fallout from Brexit. And for the first time, hybrid vehicles will also be covered by the ban. The UK government detailed the more aggressive approach in a statement Tuesday, saying it was necessary to fight the climate crisis and help the United Kingdom cut carbon emissions to "net zero" by 2050.

NUance Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Was watching the movie "Ali" on Netflix and I wondered whether the Cassius Clay--Sonny Liston fight was on Youtube. Sure enough! Gotta be one of the greatest fights of all time. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Mention of this in the Political Cartoon thread. So of course I had to go back and see the ending. Oddly, this brings back fond memories. My college gf used to love all the Planet of the Apes movies. So once in a while we'd rent one and watch it. I think we ended up watching several of them.
