Marshall cites we ignore climate change due to many factors, such as contradictions and the abstract nature of climate threats and its effects.
However, Marshall doesn’t touch on a new wrinkle to the climate discussion, empowerment. Before electric vehicles hit mass production recently, it was REALLY hard to make an everyday impact on climate change and that’s the often overlooked element with a no-emission vehicle.
Power is in play for everyday folks and that’s a big deal.
