Nobody here is saying it’s a cure all. It’s a step in the right direction. It’s better than doing nothing and continuing on the course we’ve been on. Do you think an “all or nothing” approach has any chance of working?

Diesel engines have nothing to do with what we were talking about.
And even if you want to call it a “band-aid”, that’s still better than letting the wound continue to bleed. It slows us down and gives us a chance to course correct, rather than barrelling ahead over the cliff at full speed.
You seem to be forgetting that wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power exist.
Not to mention that, even with coal generating the energy for the cars, EVs still have lower lifetime emissions than any ICE car.
I was calling out the (mostly conservatives) who repeatedly say that we shouldn’t make any effort to reduce emissions because “China is worse”.
Oh no, who are we going to blame our refusal to lower emissions on now?
