Personal responsibility is really important for the media to focus on to hide the disproportionate share of blame that should be attributed to oil companies and billionaires. If I continue my current lifestyle for another 900 years, I will emit as much carbon as Musk, Bezos, or Putin does today.
40-60% of humans are too fucking stupid to understand any kind of attenuated causality. This was clearly demonstrated during covid by their inability to quarantine and wear masks in the face of deadly disease. If it is not don’t stick your dick in a hornets nest painful, they cannot comprehend that their actions have consequences.
Unless the rest of us are willing to exterminate them, I don’t know anyway that we’ll ever make climate targets. We have failed badly at every attempt so far. Because the extermination option is politically impossible, I expect the worst consequences of climate change to be inevitable.
Education resistant humans are insurmountable.
I had a 2015 Nissan Leaf that I bought new. Range was optimistically 115 miles when fully charged. I loved it. I have also owned a 2022 Nissan Leaf and now I drive 2023 Audi E-tron. Range was never an issue with the 2015, but I was only driving 60 miles per day. We have also owned various ICE cars for longer trips. We put many more miles on our EVs than our ICE, favoring them for errands and the like. My favorite thing is having my car charged and ready to go and not having to ever stop at gas stations. The much lower operating cost is definitely nice as well.
We are implementing the feature in this two week sprint. (It is a four week task and is not amenable to being further decomposed - at least not with meaningful exit criteria.)
