dunno, i'm skeptical, and i think economic growth and scientific advancement is more important so that we shouldn't cuck ourselves too much, like if we colonize mars then we won't need earth anyway, and electric cars aren't as clean as people think, the mining process for the rare earth minerals causes pollution, and we'll be dead anyway by the time the climate has changed too much, the imminent doomsday scenarios are a hoax
>Without new policies to mitigate climate change, projections suggest an increase in global mean temperature in 2100 of 3.7 to 4.8 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels (median values; the range is 2.5 to 7.8 °C including climate uncertainty).[24]

the best commercial EV technology we have right now relies on heavily polluting mining practices in third world countries
we don't know if EVs will win out in the long run or if the electricity is better used in the production of hydrogen fuel or something else instead of having a huge ass battery in every car
