Once again, it’s interesting that this so often comes down to forcing Everyone Else to comply, you know, with the things the climate cultists won’t do on their own
EDITORIAL: Addressing climate change requires more than just individual actions
As we grapple with climate change, we need to create a culture of sustainability to minimize the effectsNew Jersey recently received $15.4 million to expand electric vehicle charging stations, hoping to create a more electric-centered infrastructure. This investment signals the importance of moving to carbon-neutral emissions and trying to mitigate humans’ impact on the global environment, especially as the effects of climate change have already been causing problems.
Electric vehicles are one avenue we can use to combat climate change, and they would help reduce carbon emissions. Despite those benefits, though, electric cars cannot be the sole option we have to remedy environmental concerns.
I wonder how many people are actually commuting in EVs in NJ right now. Who’s going to trust one on the Parkway and Turnpike during the morning and evening rush hour? There’s gotta be a lot of mistrust
Electric cars are great, but at least in the current economy, they remain out of reach for the majority of Americans as they are too costly. Despite the unattainable costs, another issue, and maybe even more pressing, is that electric cars rely on individuals. Individual actions can only go so far.
Wait, what? Too costly for the majority of Americans? Huh. Don’t expect that to change.
Instead of focusing on a singular individual action, we need to focus on creating a culture of sustainability both in the state and at Rutgers.
This culture of sustainability can take the form of various investments we make into local communities, but it must begin with a solid, reliable and expansive public transportation system.
Oh, hey, cool. The cult will simply force you out of your reliable, affordable fossil fueled vehicle and onto buses and such. I mean, hey, in some urban areas, like a NYC, this is easy. When I visit there or D.C., I don’t drive around, I’ll take the bus or subway. What if you want to cruise on down to the beach or up to the mountains? Not so easy on the bus, eh. It’s almost like they’re trying to limit where the citizens can travel. Heck, Raleigh has a decent bus system. But, I’d have to get to the bus stop, around a mile and a half away, then take the bus through all the stops, which then leaves me about a mile to 2 away from work. No, f’ing thanks.
Elsewhere, I mentioned New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern this morning. Guess what she’s about to do
(Yahoo News) New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been chosen to give the keynote speech at Harvard University’s spring commencement, the Ivy League school announced Monday.
Ardern is scheduled to address graduates at a May 26 ceremony at the campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Harvard President Larry Bacow called Ardern “one of the most respected leaders on the world stage.”
“From climate change and gender equality to COVID-19, she has modeled compassionate leadership that has brought together empathy and science-based solutions to address the most challenging issues of our time,” Bacow said in a statement.
That’s over 9,000 miles to fly from New Zealand to Boston. In a fossil fueled jet. Will she be flying commercial or taking a private jet to yammer on about the dangers of ‘climate change’?
