I am sorry but this is full of cheap propaganda.
1. Here the hidden premise is that the electric cars are polluting but the normal ones don't and therefore they are OK. Energy diversity will need to be the solution, nuclear power included (as a backup system).
2. Environmental groups are pushing for changes since CO2 emissions are a threat to stability of the world order and economy. It is true that we don't have everything sorted out by now but that doesn't mean we don't have a serious physical problem. Actually in the case we constantly have to return to the level "Is there a problem?" we would have proper funding and more stuff would be sorted out by now. The environment debate started over 50 years ago and someone is constantly trying to disrupt honest debate. What only creates problems down the road. While real life data is showing the problem since in the end green house gasses are green house gasses. Therefore not solving this one is basically driving a car of the cliff, there is no going back and the damage will be impossible to even measure since the world as we know it will be gone.
3. Also CO2 isn't a smog, they are generally coming from the same source but they are not the same thing. Smog is basically a cloud of micro particles that are created in burning of fossil fuels. However with stronger winds they can pass a decent distance. While CO2 is invisible gas that piles up in the atmosphere and through global weather system is moving all around the planet constantly. Actually it even dissolves in water, causing it's acidification. What threatens marine eco-systems and therefore enter global food supply. However from where the both are coming is irrelevant on the long run since the whole practice needs to stop completely in the end.
4. We are burning fossil fuels and therefore we are releasing plenty of new carbon atom in the system. Which were in the ground for hundreds of millions of years and therefore the further this show goes the further we will get from what we consider "normal". You can restore all the forest bio mass on the world but that still wouldn't quite turn things to normal since we are adding new carbon into the the system. What is is a genie that is basically impossible to return back into the bottle. Therefore this has to end as soon as possible since bigger and bigger changes will become more and more permanent due to this practice.
1) No one said fossil fuel cars are not polluting. I said they don't pollute that much, NOT in comparison to electric cars.
2) I don't think anyone truly denies the climate is changing, they deny the solutions will do anything to help it. At what point do you except its happening, and aim to decrease the damage instead of trying tobstop it? I think its way beyond the point of no return. Humans are not gonna stop reproducing and developing their nations.
3)C02 also used to exist before humans, and marine wildlife has died off many times throughout eath"s history. I think cleaning up the ocean is still a more effective method for helping marine life to survive, than stopping the natural disaster that is humanity. I've always considered by us polluting the enviroment etc, that nature will return to punish us and wipe us out. Life will return, after we are gone. Like an algea bloom in the ocean. Life doesn't remain static and unchanged, never has.
4) What is normal to you?
Climate change isn't going away as long as humans are alive, simple as that. So to actually stop hyper climate change, we have to stop humans from existing. My method was to decrease, not to stop. Because I recognize the importance it has to human survival because there are no alternatives, for our increasing populations as of yet. This is how we maintain the first world. I don't see places like Africa or China using all green energy in the next hundered years. Do you? That is where this falls apart. The West isn't enough to slow down climate change, even if we somehow managed to go all green. It is purely idealistic to think we can even have an impact on it to reverse it. As we don't know and or understand the climate completely either. Lets say the entire world gets rid of C02, and earths population goes up. What if humans simply being alive starts causing climate change again? There is a finite amount of space on earth. The proverbial genie has been out of the bottle before we were born.
Also, talking about your opinions isn't propaganda. It's that kind of talk that has polarized people to begin with.
