HI folks, I'm not getting at any of you specifically. I drive a Leaf. Yes, there are tyre particles, a health hazard but no CO2 emissions (well a small amount as NZ power is about 87% renewables) and I've flown UK/NZ. I said "we". But don't go on about them, it's not relevant to global warming. And driving a Leaf with a renewable power supply is actually "better than" driving an ICEV, but worse than walking or cycling or public transport, if available. I agree.

I was merely putting Guterre's report in context, I thought. Merely pointing out the impossible job humanity has set itself. Monbiot's deal with the devil. A debt to be painfully repaid.

We all live a life style that pollutes - plastic, tyres, fossil fuels, concrete, asphalt, chemicals, non-stick pans, bricks, doesn't matter, .

Just pointing out we all have and do these things, and we won't do without them, even environmentally concerned folk like me, we are all involved. It's not hypocrisy, that's something different, a lie to yourself and others. But it is a failure to live up to what you know what you should do. I'm not lying to myself, merely being an inadequate human being to my own precepts. .
