    You can’t minimise other people’s fossil fuel use then. It’s like you’ve never heard of paraphrasing before. I didn’t change the meaning at all.

    I’m not a proponent of fossil fuels, I would love to move away from fossil fuels entirely. Pointing out your poor reading comprehension isn’t really an insult of its factually true, you continue to miss the point. But as I’ve said the reason I don’t have an EV is because I’m not in a position where I could possibly get one, I would have an EV if I was.

    What I have been doing this whole time, what you have missed again is the fact that I am talking about the effect of rising oil prices will have on you regardless of your personal choices. That’s it, that’s the point here. you will be effected whether you have an EV or not why can you not get it through your thick skull that that is the point I’m making. It’s not about personal choices it’s not about the far far future where humanity might have moved beyond fossil fuels. It’s about right now where you will be affected.

      Don’t worry dude, as soon as the fossil fuel industry stops their propaganda trying to convince you that you can’t live without them, renewables will be all over. Patience, we’ll get there. 😉

        You’re like a child putting their hands over your ears saying “la la la la la.”

        I’ve never said we couldn’t live without them, I’m saying right now our lives and industries are so entrenched with them right now that in the immediate short term we are all going to be affected by the oil price rising for a multitude of reasons.

        But you’re just going to ignore the actual points that I make and talk about the hypothetical future that’s irrelevant to right now.

          I only come here to read your childish insults. I must say, you do not disappoint! Keep it going!

          The fact that you write so much to me, thinking your anti-transition propaganda will get you anywhere, or that you’re teaching me something I haven’t already known for decades, is amusing. 👍

            The fact that you can’t grasp that I’m not “anti-transition” is astounding. I’m very pro transition to renewables, I would absolutely love to move completely away from fossil fuels. But what you still haven’t been able to grasp is that I’m talking about is the rising oil price is going to affect you whether you have an EV or not. It’s going to affect you right now because of how much our society relies on fossil fuels right now.

            But you’re going to ignore my actual point again, aren’t you. You have no actual argument so you just won’t acknowledge the fact that rising oil prices will infact effect you whether you own an EV or not.
