Logging and mining operations on the Indonesian island are now penetrating the rainforest of uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people.

    Well no, our future is public transport, if we don’t kill ourselves first, which we will.

      Yes, 100%. But switching to ev right now is literally how we don’t kill ourselves first.

        By using gas and coal energy to mine lithium and nickel? Destroying millions of acres of forest in the process and contaminating God knows how much land and water?

          Like I said, we can concentrate on making cars out of sunshine after we aren’t pumping death into the atmosphere.

          Normal cars take resources as well to build and keep polluting non stop after they are built as well. Even worse, the resources they need just to run are fucking terrible for the environment to extract and use, not to mention the spills. There’s no contest, gas is always worse.

          We don’t have time to transition to only public transport while keeping our dependence on oil.

          It’s either EVs now and a public transport future, or gas induced suicide.
