Sick Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Tuesday, 09-Apr-2024 02:45:54 JST Sick Sun @eriner I disagree with you on this. Superficially rising co2 helps plants and farms but it goes along with massive reduction in biodiversity. Like if you replaced an old growth forest with a giant ocean algae bloom -

Can't have that.

I think there are too many confounding variables to claim that biodiversity reduction is a direct result of CO2 increases (and the combustion of fossil fuels).
Habitat destruction (and tangentially, the urban island effect) is more Occam's razor as far as I'm concerned.

(Obviously neither of those are specific to electric cars, but they won't be immune.) In conversation permalink -

> Calculating the cost of U.S. subsidies for the fossil fuel industry is complex because the incentives stretch across the U.S. tax code, but estimates range from $10 to $50 billion per year.
