It doesn't even have to be about climate change. It's also about balancing the electrical load of everyone in NYC blasting their AC at once. So they don't have brown and blackouts

I made the switch from ICE to EV a couple months ago, and it wasn't really even about climate change. It's just cheaper and more convenient in terms of fueling, and there's far less maintenance to keep on top of. It just no longer makes sense to choose ICE (usually) if you already need a new vehicle, can charge at home, and don't drive more than like 200 miles per day. I just did a road trip in it last month and it really only made the journey maybe 5-10% longer than if I used an ICE vehicle since we needed to stop for food and bathrooms anyway.

Recycling plastic is almost completely a lie. Very few recycling plants can recycle your water bottle, and it's incredibly wasteful and costly even if they can. The better choice is to not buy plastic water bottles in the first place, and if you do then reuse them several times, but also you're just a drop in the bucket compared to industries' waterfalls, so don't beat yourself up about it when you're not perfect.

lol his advice is like the most standard advice anywhere in the world. A NYC mayor giving advice isnt the government trying to control your life. Calm your paranoid fascist brain cells down.

no ones been arrested from the Epstein files

Strictly speaking, Epstein and Ghislaine got arrested.

To me this feels like someone telling me climate change is my fault

That's the liberal response.

"We're going to give you a choice between the cheap dirty consumerist good and the expensive efficient consumerist goodAnd if you pick wrong, it's your fault that climate change is happening."

The conservative response is some combination of

"Actually, the biggest source of climate emissions is Al Gore's farts"

and

"It's both gay and Chinese to talk about energy efficiency"
