And fortunately the Euros are choosing sustainability over convenience, which is the ethical and smart move. The whiners can STFU as far as I'm concerned.
If people won't choose to do the right thing I have no problem with limiting a tiny bit of consumer choice.

If people were buying the Fairphone there would be lots of incentive. But people just like to talk about how they care about the environment, human rights, etc. And then go buy the new iPhone.

This isn't unusual. TSMC and Foxconn, both Taiwanese companies, are heavily invested in China as well.
No one serious is implying or saying the US or the West should be completely economically uninvolved with China. Without trade there is much less reason or room for diplomacy. But no one is building cutting edge fabs there either.

The VW Group is all in on EVs. The big push is from niche sports car builders, which are an utterly insignificant amount of daily traffic and airlines.
Sports car builders are trying to keep a hobby alive, not part of the transportation industry.

This is history, not news. Cool find for historians for sure, despite the horrendousness of the discovery.

How are large corporations going to reduce meat consumption? Or reduce the number of international flights people take for vacation? How will they make entirely unsustainable industries like fast food, fast fashion, and cruise lines go out of business? To say nothing about the rampant inhumane working conditions and cruelty in those industries.

Certainly a lot of the issues are dependent upon the world's industrial infrastructure and that is not something that we necessarily have a handle on. But all the people building the new sustainable infrastructure are just regular people and individuals who decided to do something.

Of course not. That isn't remotely possible for well over a decade. That doesn't mean that there is not a massive effort to build new sustainable infrastructure that will replace what we currently have. We spent 50 years building the current infrastructure that depends on fossil fuels. It's not going to be replaced overnight, or even in a few years.
What people don't realize is that when emissions finally start dropping year after year, the reduction will happen relatively quickly after that. That part of the change will be dramatic and observable. The hard work being done right now not so much.
Think about EV cars and trucks; once adoption rises to over 50% a year, the transition to 90% EVs will happen very quickly because no one will want to invest in the old tech and the manufacturing will have scaled up dramatically and be much more mature. What people don't realize is how much of the hard work was done before EVs were being mass produced. Developing and building the battery and car factories and establishing all the supply lines is the hard part, not building cars in the factory.

The same timeline will happen with many other sustainable technologies that are where EVs were in 2005 or 2010.

One of the ways you can tell when politicians are bullshitting and just politicking is when they call for stuff like this without mentioning how fossil fuels will specifically be replaced and how those efforts will be encouraged or funded.
Anyone can cut out fossil fuels. You'll just have a lot less power and transportation available all of a sudden. It's not much different on a societal level, except it is worse, as we use fossil fuels for everything from fertilizer for food production to manufacturing and transporting the solar panels and wind turbines that will eventually make fossil fuels obsolete.

They aren't really far off it's just that the models don't show every feature of the climate because they are models, not reality. But regarding the broad strokes the models are accurate and relevant.
Also CNN peddles fear and useless information. They thrive on sensationalism, not by informing people.

I wish that for even every 10 alarmist articles about climate change published there was one about the various steps and programs being worked on to address it.
But no. Just more selling of fear and sensationalism.

There is very little information regarding that in mainstream news and it is a serious disservice. People need to understand these issues if we are going to contribute to them or vote for them intelligently.

Meh. According to the front page, @Communism is trending. Yet there are no posts and 2 subscribers.
I suppose that is one type of trend.

No, it isn't.
Maybe some similarities, but no.
