Even if the whole climate issue is real I don't believe that the ridiculous measures that they are trying to mandate and going to make much difference. Why electric cars, which have their own issues, and appliances? Why not corporate jets and yachts and excessive mcmansions? Why do we take the hit while the super rich go unscathed? Published estimates of top billionaires' annual emissions in 2021 and found that a superyacht — with permanent crew, helicopter pad, submarines and pools — emits about 7,020 tons of carbon dioxide a year, over 1,500 times higher than a typical family car.
