Your reading comprehension sucks. I said give me solutions. It’s kind of hard to want solutions if you think there’s no problem.
And what the US president says has no bearing on this. The rest of the world already knows he’s a malicious actor; we’re just waiting for the Americans to get off their asses and do something about him.
And the reason why people keep saying it is because they are equally tired of the “OMG the planet is dying and we are destroying all life” chorus. We know. We don’t need more “awareness” raised for this problem
Is this not more then half your comment?
We clearly need more awareness if in our current predicament, someone like trump can get elected. The fact is the environment is nowhere near high enough on the list of priorities of most governments.
We also have solutions but we aren’t implementing them mainly because the goverments would rather protect their oil and car industries amongst others.
You think volume of text dictates what the final conclusion of a comment is? This is why I was questioning your reading comprehension.
And the car thing is exactly what I’m talking about when I said elsewhere that a “solution” is only a real solution if it takes peoples’ behavior into account. The reality is, people are not going to give up their cars. It isn’t going to happen (in North America, at least). So if any solution tries to include not driving as an integral part, it will fail. Hence the push for electric vehicles. Even if the grid were 100% fossil fuel based, electric cars would still be drastically better. Plus, it’s a lot easier to build out renewable grid power than it is to change peoples lifestyles.
Clearly your wish for less awareness isn’t some illusion brought on by my reading comprehension if over half of your comment pertains to it.
You are willfully blind if you think electric cars have been accepted properly and if you think the car and oil industry aren’t fighting tooth and nail against it. Same goes for public transport and renewables in general which are constantly held back.
I’m sure you hearts in the right place but complaining about the movement being too vocal is an oil baron talking point.
