Who is acting smug, Elon?
Well, since Elon is doing something much bigger than buying carbon offsets, no.
You know my feelings on this. Even if I concede that
#1 Human CO2 emissions are warming the earth
#2 This warming, if continued, will be a major problem.
It still does not matter. The problem is solved.
Elon and Tesla have accelerated the switch to sustainable energy all by themselves. If not for Tesla, this switch would happen 25 years from now. Because of Tesla, it is happening now. Market forces have taken hold and there is no stopping something once the economics win.
All the Al Gores speeches in the world only serve to accelerate governments to talk about taking action to solve this problem.
Tesla, a private company, has already solved it.
Peak oil and emissions have already arrived. It only gets better from here. And even though I am a "denier" I am still happy this is happening. I hate nasty diesel trucks spewing toxic fumes in the air I breath. I hate all of the efforts we expend kissing @ss of the Saudis. I look forward to a day when I can power my home, car, even boat with electricity that is generated by my own solar. That day is coming soon.
Then this climate emergency will be switched to some other emergency that helps the sheeple justify the power of their magnificent overlords.
