Once again, it's about how our brains work. From your BBC link: "This ideological divide has had far-reaching consequences. Polls conducted in May 2020 showed that just 22% of Americans who vote Republican believed climate change is man-made, compared with 72% of Democrats." That's in 2020 for Christ's sake!

I just want to add to the discussion on who drives what. I watched the creeps from the oil industry testify with the creeps from the car manufacturers in front of Congress. Simply put, they tried to act like they worked together to give the public what it wants to drive and clean fuels for those vehicles. I call BS! Neither industry cares about that. They build the BIG ones to keep sucking gas while trying to convince mom and pop their responsibility is to get an SUV to transport kids, dogs, and groceries. They try to equate macho with a big-ass-gas-sucking truck. Propaganda and collusion between those industries has set us back 50 years on the existing climate emergency.
It was all done on purpose---the big cars and trucks. We had to force the CAFE standards, and we had to fight the Republicans to do that. All along people on a budget have wanted small economical vehicles as well as hybrids. Now they want an affordable electric car they should have had nearly 30 years ago.
Same story as always, Republicans learn when the flood, tornado, hurricane, or fire takes away their home. Fossil fuels were a wonder, till we found out it will be a wonder if anyone survives the effect they have had. Make 'em pay for not stopping when they knew. Great Report as always, Thom.
