I see 4 years for their Pro line and 3 for non-Pro.


https://www.greenworkstools.com/pages/warranty

if you go into Costco and look at the Box - it says right on the box costco members get double the life of the battery warranty. Look it up - i just confirmed that today at my local costco. uh so - I guess that makes youiwrong? again? doesn't that ever get old for you?

Are you drunk or high tonight?

I just asked a question based on what their website says. Never said it wasn't a longer warranty.

Post the link to the longer warranty when you sober up.

The Yale weather experts are stumped because the weather isn’t following their models! (I’m shocked!) The takeaway is perhaps the real weather may yet start following their models as you, I and it should. (?)

This is really important to the west coast of Mexico because of hurricanes.

Interesting article, thanks RFC. It also seems to bear some new info on why the west coast of North America has seen falling rather than rising water oceanside levels in recent decades along with the very cold wet winters we have been experiencing last couple years.

The ice age fear in the 70s was so real, the Soviet Union proposed placing a giant 'magnifying' device above Siberia to warm up the land!

Warming the planet is a good thing, more crops, less famine deaths, increased time to just think. The Renaissance (Leonardo Da Vinci, etc.) came about from warming period. Instead of focusing on a graph that begins during a cold period and makes today's temperatures look extreme, look at the bigger picture and see that we are far from being close to how warm these NORMAL cycles in temperature get.

The only warming you should be fearful of is the atomic blast from Chinese or Russian hyper-sonic missiles as your government is spending tons of dollars on 'climate change' (with the so-called Inflation Reduction Act) instead of America's safety from real enemies.

JZ,

Toronto as an example. 40 years ago they had a great, reliable and safe public transportation system, as did SFO. Today not so much. LAX never had any of the above and it’s gotten even worse.

The free or borrowed money to build it never pays for it or keeps it up! Rosey Scenario never generates enough income so tax and regulate people into using it! It’s fencing the commons all over again. Change the rules to force people to follow your orders or else!

Lowering speed limits in urban areas is good way to improve livability, protect/encourage pedestrians!

Banning certain vehicles from crowded urban areas is good solution to congestion!

As ice engines get replaced by e engines, we need to switch from motor fuel taxes to mileage taxes! Road users need to pay for roads!

Goat,

A “good solution” for who? Forcing people to use crime riddled and breakdown prone public transportation is also “a good solution” for the government. “Fencing the commons” was a good solution for the government as well. “a good solution depends on whether the solution applies to you or you just enforce or watch others use it.

Half pint and clarkie:
comments on mass transit from suburanites and rural retirees are meaningless. If you ever got out of your rural bubbles, you would see that big, urban areas need and rely on mass transit. Not everyone is rural and wealthy like you!

Homelessness in usa is a lot like poverty worldwide, there are no easy solutions…

No one? You throw out these blanket, all-encompasing statements as if they are the result of in-depth research projects you've done. And who says this is just about public transportation in big cities?

When's the last time you took public transit? Ever?

Kudos to the folks who actually take positive action instead of just b-tching about the homeless problem.

Can anyone tell me how much CO2 a major city gives off minus the vehicle traffic? People, pets, A/C units. Building Heaters, dry cleaners, laundromats, machine shops, paint shops and painting in general- ETC ETC They all add to the soup in one way or another,

We always seem to have people who want to pluck the low hanging fruit.

Here's a question How did some European countries solve their homeless problem?

Newsome has had complete govt. control for years. Promised he would fix it. Spent billions. His accomplishment? He made it much worse.

You really think these fools can solve CC if they can't solve a much easier challenge?




Solving mental health, homelessness and poverty is a much more difficult problem than solving climate change.
