You’re only “saving” with an ICE because CO2 is not appropriately priced. And there are other reasons to ditch petrol, like, what about our children future? Limiting the discussion to price is a limited way of thinking.

No thanks. Those are problems for the world's rich to worry about. I have a budget and dependents to take care of. I'm not taking away from my dependents to change the time the earth becomes unlivable by 15 seconds.

It’s wild to me that people with kids don’t care about how the planet will be for their children and grandchildren. I don’t even have kids of my own and I’m willing to alter my lifestyle to give future generations a better shot at having the same access to resources I have.

I have five kids and I am not in the slightest worried about the planet. It will be here and we will adapt if needed. I am much more worried about the elites stamping out our God given freedom and subjugating us to be told what to do by "experts" because we are just ignorant and don't know what's best for ourselves. No thank you.

Money is a huge motivator. People will absolutely change their behavior to save money. It's also largely politically agnostic. Unless you're very wealthy, money impacts your life no matter how you feel about climate change or the environment.
