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

      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,

          Also, electric cars cause traffic congestion and fatalities just the same as petrol ones.

          we could always build a nuclear power station, but the building takes energy and resources
