Good points. Thank you. That's why the scientists cited above agree overpopulation is far and away our biggest problem, despite the consumer-driven media's blackout on the subject. And apparently, Hagerty, who sees more people as more policies.
EVs and the rest of it are tantamount to Band Aids on a patient hemorrhaging in the ER.
To Al Gore's credit, even he has long since admitted corn-based ethanol a boondoggle.
Henry Ford intended his Model T and Fordson tractor, by 1920 comprising fully half of all cars and tractors on the world's roads and fields, to run on agwaste ethanol, as in Brazil, the only major nation on earth to never have been at war the past two centuries, not that they're angels.
Henry Ford thought it "folly" to burn petroleum, which he thought an excellent lubricant. But John D. Rockefeller controlled over 85 % of the nation’s bulk oil shipments, so with that infrastructure in place, prices low as a dime a gallon, Ford went along with gasoline, as did Charles Nash, GM, Hudson, Maxwell, Studebaker, Dodge, Auburn, Reo, Packard and the hundreds of other automakers then in business, large and small.
We're all the same DNA, star dust, and who's to say if not born in 1950, 2020 or 2025, might not be born in 2750, 4220, or 16825?
There's but a tenth the life in the sea, fount of all life, as in 1950;
most of the South American rain forest, what Dr. Helen Caldicott calls "the lungs of the earth," Amazon dot gone at present rates of destruction by the late 2030s, much of that for cattle feed so Americans can save another nickle on a burger;
most mammals not bred for human consumption or companionship extinct or nearly so by this century's end.
If your kids, grandchildren and great grandchild as thoughtful as you, there's hope.
