IMHO we should be putting a lot of research and funding for removing the carbon from the air. Trees do it, why not us? If a lot of what I read is true about rising temperatures, rising seas, inproportionate deaths of poor people etc, seems it may be too late for conservation. Look at all the cars, truck, airplanes, manufacturing, container ships, etc still polluting it up and will for many years. And electric cars although better still are responsible for pollution. I have seen estimates of between 30,000 and 80,000 miles before they produce less over their lifetime based on all the mining and shipping of lithium.
So if you drive an electric car and don't keep it and drive it for 50,000 (taking the mid) you are actually doing a net increase in carbon emissions. The way they're building and marketing these things as expensive high tech gadgets I would suspected a lot of the people buying them will upgrade to the newest hottest tech in a couple years like we do everything else high tech. Hopefully there will be a robust used market for these things and people buy and drive them long enough to actually help anything.
I would also say building nuclear power plants that could give us all the electricity we'll need as more and more things go electric is important and is way more efficient than solar panels or windmills. California has 1 remaining that supplies 11% of the state's electricity but they keep saying they're gonna shut it down for some reason.
Not denying anything but just thinking there may be better ways ..
