There is no greater treachery than this failure to face up to the climate crisis. How can we now fend off despair?

we need the coal mine to power the new EVs bought every 100 seconds

    There's a Tesla driving around in Brisbane with the number plate 'COAL FED'. The owner is clearly a keen fan of irony. :)

    There is a huge disconnect in people's brains,

    when was the last time you read or heard the phrase 'fossil fuel'? it's now electricity versus petrol, but they are both the same thing, both contribute to global climate change

    so stop buying cars, all cars are built with plastics ( which are made with fossil fuels ) and steel and all cars are powered by fossil fuels

    don't buy cars, walk, ride bikes, catch mass transit

    and stop paving the world , it causes global climate change, run off that causes flooding, and kills the soil

    go plant a tree

    There's not a huge disconnect, there's a lack of services. If I was to catch public transport to work it would take ~60 minutes, it's a 12 minute drive. It's currently not a practical option.

    The huge disconnect is thinking electric cars are good/green

    also, I suggest you choose to live closer to work,
