lol, rofl even.
Why didn’t anyone take climate change seriously during any of the previous years-long periods when oil was over $100 and why would now be any different?
- smallmancontrov 8mo agoIt already happened. Why do you think China showered their EV industry in government money and attention? Smog reduction is nice, but cars were never the main offender and denial was working OK. The real answer is that they were reducing geopolitical vulnerability to oil cutoff. It's a long road and they aren't at the end of it yet, but they can plan a few moves ahead. Unlike our guy, who poked a stick into the hornet nest and was surprised by the outcome.
