Robert Llewellyn (Fully Charged, Red Dwarf, Scrapheap Challenge) gave an entertaining talk to the Merseyside Skeptics Society. Generous coverage of a diverse range of topics, including:
● parallels between the behaviour of climate deniers & patients given a terminal diagnosis (in the Kubler-Ross model, denial, anger, bargaining, depression & acceptance);
● Top Gear test of the Tesla Roadster;
● New York Times test of the Tesla Model S; &
● the fossil fuel industry funded researcher who discovered that the Nissan Leaf electric motor contains 90 kg of copper (a little like the TARDIS it has more mass on the inside than the outside).
Note: 1 hour 52 minutes running time. No video, as such, just audio with a series of stills from the night, so download size is less than you might expect.
