    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

            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.

            The stratosphere, which on Earth lies between the altitudes of about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) and 50 kilometres (31 mi), sometimes considered part of the “middle atmosphere” rather than the lower atmosphere
