India is overpopulated also and causing world pollution. Pollution leads to GLOBAL WARMING - which needs to be OFFSET by efforts like the US is doing to PROMOTE purchases of EVs by giving tax breaks.
As far as "fear mongering and disasters not happening in this century" I can DISAGREE with that and I would suggest that everyone read today's article in News Break that says, " Dangerous heat will impact Florida and much of the US over the next 50 years." Starting next year (not 100 years away) Florida will have TWICE as many over 100 heat index days as compared to recent years. Florida, Texas and even states ass far north as Wisconsin will begin to experience dangerous heat index days (some as high as 125)
Right now Florida and Texas are in the path of ORGANIC dust blown in from the Sahara desert due to global Warming. The Antartica has ice sheets dropping into the ocean much FASTER than most scientists expected. This is happening so fast that a young person would be stupid to buy BEACHFRONT property in Florida. The problem is that most people are living their lives while being ignorant or UNCARING about the future, but SOON approaching effects of Global Warming.
And the point is that it is becoming important and URGENT that people begin to switch from ICE vehicles to EVs. It IS important for the next generations. It can EVEN be thought of as PATRIOTIC to do so. Help your grandchildren and do the RIGHT thing. The US government is TRYING to help you!

Oh, and I must have missed your answer to my question... What kind of car did you say you drove again?
