When you look at an image like this and realise this is *all* we’ve got, we need to jail every political leader and business executive that is hell-bent on destroying this jewel, our only home, for fossil fuel profit.

To hell with them all, seriously.

Update: The US Auto industry has retreated from EVs. That strategy will relegate them to the domestic market only or to extinction. The world is shifting to EVs. Global sales of fully internal combustion engine vehicles peaked in 2017. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Paywalled link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Catch up? I highly doubt that. It's the machine behind this one individual that has to be dismantled for any progress to be made.

The latest data for the Netherlands is that it has roughly one car for every two people.

So the switch to EV's (even secondhand) is a great thing!

Global CO2 emissions from transport
This is based on global transport emissions in 2018, which totalled 8 billion tonnes CO,

Transport accounts for 24% of CO, emissions from energy.

Correct.

The *entire* road transportation sector needs to be electrified since about 74% of emissions come from road transport.

Passenger EV’s do in fact benefit communities - massively - since passenger vehicles are the greatest source of NOx and PM2.5. & 10 pollution in cities.

Second-hand electric car sales soar in March as fuel prices rise - DutchNews.nl Demand for second hand electric cars soared in March, with sales up 48% on February, car sector association Bovag said on Wednesday. The “spectacular” increase is down to both the impact of higher fuel prices following the war in the Middle East and the huge surplus of second hand cars, a spokesman told the Financieele Dagblad. “Petrol is expensive and there are more affordable second hand electric cars on the market,” the spokesman said. “So driving an electric car is...

May the oil “demand destruction” continue.

In many countries transportation is the biggest emission source.

Electrifying road transport is a big deal.

I made the move. You should consider it too!

On International Fact-Checking Day, fight climate disinformation.

False narratives downplay risks — but Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average, with rising heat, floods and droughts.

Facts matter. Stay informed. 🌍

I am once again begging clean energy advocates to stop talking up Texas' current free-for-all approach to energy development as a model of success.

"Clean natural gas" is the biggest scam in history. Methane certification is a clean natural gas annex scam.
