Personally I think that the main reason for hearing about switching to "green" energy has to do with more political than scientific reasons. It seems like a group of individuals within the US have some sort of a self hating complex, in which they believe certainly that the US in its Successes, in some way is a major contributor to global warming etc..Despite the fact that scientists have yet to show an actual model (even if humans are a contributing factor) as to how reducing emissions can/will stop it, and that the actual top contributors are totally non compliant with any initiatives put forward by the UN. As such you see this obsessive, and yet poorly informed lobbying group whose real goal at the end of the day (Assuming they are not completely mentally handicap d) resembles some sort of deranged Neo-Marxist campaign.. They fill your head with heart throb stories about coastal towns and cities in "under privilaged" nations and then immediately resort to sending them millions if not billions of taxpayer money. As if they think that simply throwing money at a problem will solve it.. The whole Electric Vehicle ordeal in my opinion, was meant to coerce the general public into believing that a seamless transition from fossil fuels would be possible (hint: it would be catastrophic)... We also have to remember how Big Oil Influences world Politics and Competitors interests in Derailing competition.. What really does a globalist economy want other than to redistribute market share that the US acquired over the years prior to ww2.... Again.. I don't believe science has anything to do with this as much as Ideologically driven politicians do.. Great article!
