Some customers say auto dealers have steered them away from buying electric cars and trucks.

Been true for quite a while — dealers often refuse to stock them because they don’t need as many repairs

      Could you elaborate on that claim?

        I believe the OP’s point is that because EVs still use fossil fuels and companies still make a massive profit from it, it’s a scam but I could be wrong.

      I agree, they use fossil fuels and aren’t gonna solve the problem long-term. More greenwashing for the masses. Abolish cars!

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:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
