I think we are doing better, and just starting to care (now that it’s profitable smh)

Tesla and other EV brands are taking one CO2 emitting car off the road with every new purchase. The world seems to also be follow suit. It might seem insignificant but sales are staggering and it’s picking up. It’s not the only issue, but it’s a big one. Same with refining oil, the less needed, the less pollution from drilling, refining, transporting, and burning it at the end user.

Now once we lean heavy into solar for energy generation we will really be doing great. Hydro, wind, nuclear. The future is looking good. Hopefully we can get some snow on the east coast again sometime!

While a lot of the world is following along, the corporations will just move to the countries that don't have these laws. Eastern Asia, Middle East, and Africa. It really just controls the people and creates a bigger cap between the rich and the poor.

That is unfortunate, I agree. However at least it won’t happen in our country where our kids live since we tried to change it. I hope most can follow but I’m sure they won’t.
