In the upcoming decades, it will be painful for some parts of the world and the best we can probably do is work on remediation efforts. 80% of the world’s energy comes from hydrocarbons; that won’t change overnight and we should stop assuming that it can.

I agree that it will take a long time to turn the ship around, maybe never. I have written that before. I still believe that any person that is in the market for a new automobile should consider and then BUY an E-vehicle. I agree that it probably won't matter, but it is like "baby steps". Doing something is better than doing nothing and Europe is buying more E-vehicles than the US is. Personally, I will be dead and the Earth will have increasing HEAT problems. And I doubt that it will get fixed without a lot of science and LUCK. Maybe in 100 years fusion reactors will supply endless power for all of humanity. And all wars are history.
.......The reason that I write about this subject is because such a large percentage of TOTV people are completely unaware of the Global Warming problem. And it is not just The Villages it is most of the whole US. The scientists have NOT been able to convince the average person about how important Global Warming really is.
