Both the millionaire and the lowest worker will have their lives changed as the earth's temperatures are predicted to HEAT up for the next 7 or 8 years. All economic classes share the same earth so will have their lives somewhat negatively affected by the next 8 years of MAN MADE Global Warming. We need to 1st "face up" to the problem as scientists have and then we can begin to work on the problem.
......We can plant trees here in the US, but the Amazon rainforest is being deforested at too rapid of a rate. I can see that the only solution is for citizens to purchase EVs instead of ICE vehicles. One interesting fact that shows how the US could help.......the share of EV car sales as a % of total car sales for different countries is........China 29%, Europe 21%, and the US LAST at 8%. Europe is buying EVs at a rate almost 3 times the US. It is strange that China is doing a lot of bad things like being the world's greatest polluter (they use a lot of coal). but they have the highest % of EV car sales.
.........It looks like the US is a very poor 3rd in EV car sales. So, right there if we started buying more EVs, it might be enough to turn the CO2 polluting problem around enough to improve US air quality, maybe stop the dying of the ocean coral, and maybe stop the HEAT increases before that dreaded "tipping point" is reached.
......Perhaps the US government should be doing MORE tax incentives to encourage the buying of EVs.
