> We are not tackling climate change.

That is absolutely not true. 2 examples in the US: the $7000 EV tax rebate, 80GW of new renewable energy per year. And the US is one of the worst developed nations, Europe and others are doing a lot more.

Current estimates are that we are on track for 2.5 degrees C of climate change, which would have been 6 degrees if we did nothing.

We're doing something. Just not enough.



Sounds about the same trend as in Europe on a smaller scale: upper-middle folks get tax benefits associated with their Tesla purchases. So they get to pat themselves on the back for being able to maintain the same lifestyle as before.

Meanwhile the very eco-friendly single-use wooden utensils that I last used was Made in China.

Just putting smiley faces on the gas display when it starts to drop low.

That is correct. We are not tackling climate change
