I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the “fuck cars” communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles.

Are they actually beneficial to the planet other than limiting exhaust, or is that it? or maybe exhaust is a way bigger problem?

    So you want to change the entirety of human society in a few years. Nice plan there genius, have you ever met another human? We need more palpable incremental steps or else a proposal like yours just gets completely shut down.

      I have met plenty of people who can phrase a counter-argument without sounding like an asshole.

      the entirety of human society

      Lol wtf? How long do you think car culture has been around for?

      It’s not “the entirety of human society”. It’s American, Canadian, Australian society since the 1950s and '60s.
