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

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

Good, fuck those guys.
I'm not against people having trucks or modifying them for performance or off-roading or whatever, but people who modify their truck for no other reason than to pollute more are nothing but fucking assholes.
This might make you laugh then:

It's a bad idea because that's a flimsy excuse. It would put you at fault more than likely.
As long as the performance mods don't make them louder and they're driving them at night. Or if they do things like put bigger rims on and then complain about potholes in the roads or park in EV spots.
Unfortunately though, a lot of these people are peacocking, and many of them only modify their cars to ensure others notice them (which unfortunately also means annoying/inconveniencing others)
Many of biggest badasses I've met when hiking or mountaineering, drive the crappiest cars ever (some of them drive crappy old sedans)
