Now you are saying this is incorrect, but you have not offered an explanation. If this is wrong, then you need to provide the correct answer. If biogenic methane in the atmosphere stays the same (at 600 ppb) how much warmer will global temps be due to this? — EricH
How odd that it’s this one issue — cows — that you want to dwell on, and yet repeatedly get wrong. — Mikie
Yes: although electric cars' batteries make them more carbon-intensive to manufacture than gas cars, they more than make up for it by driving much cleaner under nearly any conditions.
BMW says that by 2026, a third of its vehicles sold will be fully electric.

Not all of the something-industrial complex are purely evil. ;) — jorndoe
People do things they don’t want to do all the time. It’s up to us to make it easier or harder. Bad habits, addictions, etc— I doubt many people want to continue with these things, but often times it’s simply “easier” than the alternative. It should be made harder. The reverse is true of good behavior — it should be made easier, regardless of what one thinks about it. — Mikie

Perhaps climate change is just a manifestation of the notion that production itself is not necessarily a positive thing. It keeps us alive, but it's instrumental in nature. We are always dissatisfied and our need for production and consumption, and work and justification of work are manifestations of this. — schopenhauer1
I mostly agree with this. I’d add an obvious point: production can be done smarter. It doesn’t have to be in the hands of a small group of people motivated almost exclusively by profit. — Mikie
↪schopenhauer1 Small is Beautiful. — unenlightened
It's not the economy, it's Schopenhauer's Will. — schopenhauer1
In any case, we’re talking about making production better by not having it controlled by a handful of elites. — Mikie
Adults are talking. — Mikie
Your random, fatuous questions are irrelevant. — Mikie
