    This is climate change denial in action. Any normal country would incentivize people to switch to EVs, not the opposite.

      We shouldn’t be subsidizing any form of personal vehicle ownership imo

      Unfortunately standard ICE Cars are already heavily subsidized in North America

      If you look at temperature data for the past 15,000yrs or so you’d see that we are in the Holocene with a great temperature for humans to survive. The temperature for the duration of the Holocene period fluctuates a little which is the climate change we’re seeing. The scale is so small though that the climate change we’re seeing isn’t meaningful to any greater change and infact we’re on a downward trend within the fluctuation.

      Now all that is not to say that we shouldn’t take measures to not destroy our environment, because we should care about our planet. There are so many more important and more immediate things to be worrying about than this grand idea of climate change, such as the magnetic pole shift

        Dudes out here telling us not to worry about climate change contradicting the entire scientific community, and the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

        Great job douche bag, you should apply to become a fossil fuel CEO, you’d fit right in.

        Didn’t expect to see one of you types in the fediverse.

        No, you’re wrong. Human induced climate change and its dangers are all very real. Sure, the news reporting is sensationalist, but the facts are all there for you to check out, science going back almost a century.
