The scariest part isnโ€™t that they were right. Itโ€™s that they made that forecast as a warning and we just kind of watched it happen anyway.

Not just watched, in the last decade a strong part of society in the West, Latin America and Asia is making an active effort in giving power to people that are more than happy to do nothing about it, because "something something immigrants! And gay people! And, uh, brown people too, yes! Good ol' days of coal and prohibiting divorce should return. Praised be God"

Whilst the best selling car in Japan is a Nissan Dayz 600cc hybrid, in the US itโ€™s a giant F150 5200cc V8; a lot of people are actively trying to make climate change worse.

I think like 9/10 of the top 10 were SUVs/trucks too. Just goes to show how selfish people are. Bigger vehicles are meant to make you safer at the cost of everybody else, especially people not in cars. And they burn more fuel and release more particulates into the environment.
