The best way to fight #climatechange is to increase the cost of transitioning to electric vehicles and solar panels for consumers. 💅
@Smersh Since major industries unrelated to general consumer usage cause hundreds of times more damage than the end-use by the consumer, I have a concern that we're just seeing another case of the end-user being told that fixing climate change is something we do as individuals, like recycling, while the real damage continues unabated.
We keep being told we have to "do our part" and when we do, everything gets more expensive for us, while the real problems go unchallenged.
@AskTheDevil like politics, there's local and global impacts of climate change.
Switching to EVs for the majority of the population, especially those in denser areas, will have a dramatic improvement on quality of life, cancer and other illness rates, etc. Even if giant cargo ships continue to billow sludge for the coming decades.
@Smersh At this point, I think we need to do _all_ the things, including switch to EVs and better public transport.
I just have a concern that we'll have people acting like it's one of those fixes where we all stop using plastic grocery sacks, and the buck stops there.
If protectionist tariffs were stupid with Trump, then they’re just as stupid with Biden. 👃
