That isn’t nearly extreme enough. Electric cars are a weak half measure that fails to really deal with the problem. Investment in public transport, heavier taxation on personal transport, overhauling of energy generation, complete restructuring if global supply chains. These are the kind of changes we need.

We at the personal level need to accept that there is no way to continue with our lives exactly as they are and just make little tweaks like, oh you plug in your car now! Simple! No, a lot more needs to change. Our diets, the things we can buy, how easy it is to get unusual goods, the speed with which they reach us… where and how we can travel. These all need to change in major ways.
