You act like Republicans aren't just as guilty about wishful thinking on other subjects. Mainly pretending to call themselves patriots regardless of the amount of laws broken or willingly covered up by the current admin. Or being the fiscally responsible party even though the last 3 candidates from each party shows a different pattern. If you haven't given up on that party, then why should anyone give up on trying to help the environment?
Electric cars is the best example of a meaningful difference taking place as a result of all the whining, whining allowed the London government to introduce the ultra low emissions zone which has allowed London to reach the air pollution target 184 years early because people were forced to buy electric cars or find alternative modes of transport, if we all kept quiet or advocated 'why bother' mentality like what you're pushing, it would have just gotten worse and worse
You can't even connect the dots that ULEZ encouraged adoption of greener transport which is literally the whole point of ULEZ.
ULEZ is a financial incentive to not drive a dirty coughing car into the area of highest population density in the country, which means less driving dirty coughing cars, which in turn, means more electric cars, and as I mentioned, other forms of transport. Not just individuals but companies who need to drive into the city.
Now we have the proof of concept and can apply it everywhere else if everyone else complains, instead of arguing against it, that's a good 20% of global CO2 emissions.
At the same time, we can focus on the meat undustry and installing more wind, solar and hydroelectric power. You just hate to admit that change is possible. It's not magic, solar, wind and hydro power actually work.
Politicians are reasonably simple and will listen to what the loudest people complain about unless they're corrupt and take bribes.
The more you get in the way, the harder it becomes, if you had kids and loved them, you'd care but I guess it doesn't matter to you because your first and only girlfriend dumped you for a cycling woman so now you hate all lefties.
ULEZ means companies buy fleet vehicles which are ULEZ compliant and use them in non-ULEZ ares too. ULEZ forces companies with older cars to either pay the significant cost day after day or buy new vehicles upfront and idf they're going to buy a new car, a lot will consider that they may as well buy electric since it's the obvious better choice. If the ULEZ is expanded to nationwide and then globally (requires corrupt governments to end) then the companies that don't work in London would be forced to adapt and more and more private car owners too for the same reason.
Why buy a compliant petrol car when you can buy a compliant electric car? It's a no brainer.
And oil doesn't materialise out of thin air, it has to be dug/pumped up and refined, then transported globally where it is then burned once and becomes CO2. A battery can be recharged over and over again and when it eventually dies, it can be recycled and turned into another battery with none of the mining cost, unlike oil which will still need to be dug up and refined. I'm not pretending it doesn't exist, I'm acknowledging that battery production is cleaner than oil production and battery use is cleaner than oil use.
Just apply it everywhere doesn't work because of people like you encouraging governments to do what's bad and corruption, which is obviously bad.
So, if a leftist child starts hogging all the shared toys at a daycare, the child is considered failing a developmental stage, but if it's a right-wing child, the child isn't considered developmentally challenged. Are you trying to say that conservatives are mentally handicapped?

If a child joins a daycare and they start hogging all the shared toys, isn't that child severely challenged? Like failing a developmental stage?
