I do think we should focus more energy on adaptation than prevention. I don’t see the climate changes being prevented but humans are very adaptable and we have tremendous industry and technology. More people die from cold than from heat. We can learn to live in an adjusted climate. Not to make light of anything, just saying.
Even if there is preventable action we can take, EV’s for middle class and richer developed nation citizens isn’t moving the needle. It’s like blowing against the wind. The government mandating what I drive and saying it’s to save the planet is like pissing on my head and telling me it’s raining. That’s my problem with it. They’re full of shit in their justification.
