> 1. Produce/transport a bunch of electric vehicles, producing massive emissions 2. ??? 3. Somehow billions of tonnes of carbon get removed from the atmosphere I'll revise that to be more accurate: 1. Produce/transport a bunch of electric vehicles, producing moderately more emissions than the production of equivalent gasoline vehicles would have 2. These electric vehicles release dramatically less carbon emissions per kilometer, even if the power source is itself fossil fueled 3. Billions of tonnes of carbon that would have been emitted with the status quo are not. > I fail to see how EVs do anything to actually do something about the problem i.e. REMOVE CO2 from the atmosphere. EVs aren't going to remove carbon from the atmosphere (and I've never heard anyone say that they will?). They simply reduce the ongoing increase of emissions from the transportation sector. They are one small piece of the climate change puzzle. The carbon in the atmosphere can't even begin to decrease if we are continually increasing the amount we add to it.
