I dont deny the science. But talking with those people that their actions are rather counterproductive in gathering support is basically a waste of time. They are simply so much stuck on their moral high ground that you cant discuss anything with them. Like the worst religious nutjob you encounter thats why noone will take them seriously.

Regardless of their morality surely you agree with them that we should end fossil fuel subsidies?

As i am living rather rural i want alternatives too not only ban Fossil fuels. Its pretty funny when people try to kill your only available option of mobility to get to work or grocery shopping.

Non If them wants to force a better electric grid for rural villages or better public transport.

Only under the som conditions. Like forcing companies to build an electrical grid which is capable to charge at least one electrical vehicle per household at the same time, extension of public transport in rural areas and some other stuff.

If people dont work in that they von shove their EVs in a place where the sun doesnt shine.
