I'm not a denier, but I am a sceptic. In any case, if you think man's activities are influencing the climate significantly, ok, I won't argue with that but I do firmly believe, quite firmly, that to reverse man's effects will take a lot more sacrifice than anyone thinks or dares. People are all for making a difference...until it hits them where they live.
I think we all need to grasp the idea that going 100% emission free is unobtainable. It is evident that a mixture of emissions emitting energy producers(oil, natural gas, coal) and renewable energy sources is the only path to take. Both are dependent on each other to do the job they are designed to do. Electric cars do not charge themselves(limitedly on some vehicles when the brakes are applied). There is not enough windmills to charge millions of vehicles overnight. This is were power plants come into play. Infrastructure to support electric vehicles is decades in the making. Also, these electric vehicles are limited in distance. More suited for urban driving. Forget a coast to coast run without taking a hard look at charging stations. Miles in between stations. The time to charge. EV have a long way to go. Batteries are hazardous waste and will be the next issue in the landfills. I'm not opposed to EV at all. These vehicles are instant torque monsters. The Mustang E is a 3.8 second 0-60 rolling battery. That will leave a lasting impression on one's butt!
