jaykrownI'm happy that oil prices are going up
_deleted_Because of climate change and my hatred of breathing in diesel fumes when a truck passes by. I want to see more efficient electric vehicles. With gas prices high the alternative becomes more viable, and it exposes how volatile fossil fuels are.
I agree, but expecting change in the next 6 months, maybe up to five years, is unrealistic, particularly under a government that actively encourages the use of fossil fuels.
bufalo1973But it can be a waking call for many people that didn’t though about changing to EV and solar panels.
I can buy so much diesel for the price of an EV. Those are completely out of my price range and higer fuel prices aren’t going to change that.
Diesel vehicles are the same price range as electric vehicles if not more expensive. The cost of ownership on diesels is way way more than an EV.
That’s hilarious. I’m not even getting a handshake at the local EV dealership for the price that I paid for my 17 year old work truck with 300k km on it. The cheapest used EV pickup truck for sale here currently is 25k€ and is completely unfit for what I need it for and the size of those American monster trucks - no thanks.
The amount of money you would have to spend to keep a diesel on the road for 300k is more than the cost of a new EV.
If we don’t stop putting greenhouse gasses into the stratosphere today then we will be extinct by the end of the century.
then we will be extinct by the end of the century.
Said no reputable climate scientist ever.
Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere

Climate change: Potential to end humanity is ‘dangerously underexplored’ say experts
Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere
The stratosphere is in the lower atmosphere. Thanks for showing everyone you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Climate change: Potential to end humanity is 'dangerously underexplored' say experts
Global heating could become "catastrophic" for humanity if temperature rises are worse than many predict or cause cascades of events we have yet to consider, or indeed both. The world needs to start preparing for the possibility of a "climate endgame."
You want to highlight the part where they claim extinction by the end of the century because I’m not seeing it.
The atmosphere is divided into five primary layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Greenhouse gases primarily concentrate in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth’s surface, extending from ground level up to about 8 to 15 kilometers high. This is where weather events occur, and it’s also where the majority of the Earth’s air is located.
I’ll just share the first line:
Global heating could become “catastrophic” for humanity if temperature rises are worse than many predict or cause cascades of events we have yet to consider, or indeed both.
It’s hilarious that the example for the definition of the word Catastrophic is also proving you wrong.
Or are you trying to argue that if it doesn’t happen at exactly the end of the century that the destruction of our species doesn’t matter?
Here was your original statement:
Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere
Your own source states that the stratosphere is part of the lower atmosphere. Thanks for proving my point for me and again showing everyone that you either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re a fossil fuel shill spreading their misinformation trying to downplay climate change.
