How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

I fucking hate Cars. I want them out of our cities and out of our lives. They're shackles and chains around our social fabric.
But they're never going entirely away and every gas car we replace with an electric car is a categorical success. We should make building massive battery plants cheaper.
Because you can't drink water if you're dead and no forest will compare in carbon impact per square foot when weighed against the reductions that electric vehicles bring us.
We can replant forests once this catastrophe is handled but we're in red fucking alert and any progress against gas cars is good progress. Damn the short term consequences.
