I kind of get what you are tying to say, but still think I disagree with your premise.
1. If someone posts a picture of their Grandchild, does that mean that is their first love or they love them more than their wife or their children? Lots of reasons to post that as a pic rather than something else without it being "obviously his first love". So, I still assert that point isn't logical.
2. I think you nailed it without even knowing you did, while making an invalid assumption. The invalid assumption was that IF you were wrong about climate change and it was proven, you wouldn't care or change. I don't think that is a reasonable conclusion from the info you have (a charger as a profile pic). The point that you nailed was IF HE WAS WRONG ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. That's just it. No one really knows (please do not quote the invalid 99% of scientists thing). Lots of people want to create hardships for others (higher taxes, prohibiting this or that, 45 minute charges every x miles rather than 5 minute fill up, etc) without proof of the actual effects of the things they are blaming on the climate or what the results of the proposed changes will be. Ask any expert what the impact of the U.S. completely eliminating internal combustion engines would be, and they cannot give you an answer. Many of us like to deal in facts. We have heard these dire warnings for 40 or more years, and none of them have actually occurred. So, pardon us if we don't want to radically change things based purely on supposition.
