Your comment was that in the 18th century the UK was fine, and we'd do more of the same and be fine. In that case the UK had to raid ancient war graves for bones to make the land more productive - no Haber process back then to make fossil fuels useful in this regard.
If there is a sufficient market for people to pull things with rented vehicles if EVs become more common, you'll be able to rent them. Although you may find that it's all self-driving by the time EVs have that level of market penetration.
It's a self eating watermelon. People won't buy EVs unless they are economically superior to ICE for the function they need it to perform. Companies won't make EVs with decent towing capacity unless people are going to buy them.
Fun fact; people who are against supply side economics, really need supply side economics to get EVs to become a thing. Karma's a bitch.
Getting the self-eating watermelon rolling in any market is difficult, but it tends to be a feedback, not purely supply or demand side.
Pretty sure that makes him more of a scientist and statistician than a random commentator on / like you
I have degrees in hard science, not political science.
But hey, here's a list of his published scientific papers
Where are the peer reviewed publications?
I'm sure you'll be able to refute all this by giving us a list of your published papers showing how much better of a scientist and statistician you are.
It would take negotiation such that the lamp post outside of person A's house (person A has a car) can be used by person B seven doors down. That's where it potentially fails.
And if it's the night you need to charge your car, and the lamp post is busy? You'd need to double your figure to make that part work too.
For TCO, you'd need to account for either resale value, or battery replacement. Renault has a scheme which levies a monthly fee, based on distance travelled, which pays for a new battery. How that changes the economics, I am not sure. I recently considered buying an EV.

The government does not expend time and money protecting x's work.
Unlike the tides and the seasons, laws and legal systems are human constructs. In the USA this involves branches of the government to create and maintain.
EVs tend to result in reduced overall CO2 emissions, even if entirely fueled by electricity from coal than ICE vehicles, although not by a huge margin, but can also use energy from non-coal sources. Given the typical mix of sources they do result in lower overall CO2 emissions, They are only just becoming a viable alternative for the average ICE vehicle, though, and it will take another decade or more before that's filtered through to the used market and thus accounting for a significant proportion of light vehicles.
I'd also point out that if the UK wishes to continue trading with the EU, many companies will need to comply with GDPR, particularly banks, so whether it is still in UK law after March 2019 is not relevant for a number of businesses.
Despite the UK government having triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, and being in negotiations regarding leaving the EU, the UK will still be classed as a Member State when the GDPR compliance deadline is reached on 25 May 2018.
Personally, I am simply for equal opportunity, whatever shade your skin, or plumbing. Apparently that makes me a feminazi and sexual predator and anti-free speech, and a dozen other things I don't believe in, somehow.
The question isn't can science address the mechanisms of climate, of course it can.
The question is will people who have their incomes and careers bound up in advocating for particular results actually do science
The climate scientists I know would much rather climate change wasn't happening.
One of the issues that many climate change research groups face is financial institutions offering those skilled with large models and how to run them on large computers much higher salaries than a climate research organisation can offer. Many stay in climate science despite this, though.
It's funny... My wife pointed out just yesterday that almost every man she has ever heard call themselves a feminist turned out to be a sexual predator.
That seems an odd assertion. Of my circle of friends, pretty much all would, if asked, consider themselves feminists, but none seem to be sexual predators. We're talking about dozens of men, here.

I do not wish to personally identify myself.

And I say this as someone in favour of EVs
The latest Renault EVs are small, but have a 230 mile range (ideal conditions), which is at least reasonable.
There isn't a lamp post per address, so it's only sufficient if there are few EVs. A different solution will be required long term.

Will the remaining males have to do prodigious duty with women of a highly stimulating nature?
People 200 years ago couldn't even really imagine air pollution or global warming for example.
Global warming, maybe not, but the first air pollution legislation goes back over 800 years.
Nerds will save the world
Only if Nerds manage to reverse population growth.
Nerds don't contribute to population growth very much, at least.
The UK used to deal with crop yield issues in the 18th century by having poor people starve. Is this what you are advocating?

Lomborg is not a scientist, and seemingly not a good statistician either. Yes, I do own one of his books.
P.S. That quote is from Computer Weekly, in the article referenced. I get lots of articles sent to me about GDPR, and we are preparing for compliance.
I'd also point out that if the UK wishes to continue trading with the EU, many companies will need to comply with GDPR, particularly banks, so whether it is still in UK law after March 2019 is not relevant for a number of businesses.
EU data protection law doesn't apply to the UK. http://www.computerweekly.com/...
The EU law isn't in force yet, but:
Despite the UK government having triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, and being in negotiations regarding leaving the EU, the UK will still be classed as a Member State when the GDPR compliance deadline is reached on 25 May 2018.
I find it hard to ignore.

It's a business, but those posting videos are not necessarily customers.
Of course people who actually believe things get air time.
