When lower-income households face affordability barriers, it’s not just their problem – it’s the missing link to achieving a full switch to electric vehicles.

      Omg warn a person they might actually orgasm looking at that car! God that is sexy. Of course, it’s very expensive and won’t ever be “affordable,” but I would buy one immediately if I could justify that cash on a vehicle.

      I’m a bit faint now.

          Right. $50kUSD for what is essentially a go cart with no airbags and a manual retractable fabric roof and paper clip roll bar.

          Realistically, the original Mazda Miata is a safer car with more features. It would fit perfectly into my mid-life crisis by sitting in my apartment carport collecting dust because I can’t afford the insurance on this gorgeous death trap.

          But… let’s touch it again with our eyes:

          wut

          no, it’s this

          There’s only one door, it opens from the front, it’s gorgeous. I just wish the door opened upward, instead of sideways.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
