The problem is adumbrated somewhere in the middle of my (relatively) recent podcast, Youtube is dead: the lost avant garde of intellectual dissent on the internet: although right-wing propaganda on carbon relies on flagrant falsehoods, the left and center are playing an even more dangerous game —in part because their lies seem more plausible —in part because a whole generation of gormless idiots (globally) has been groomed to believe in them. Neither the electric engine nor the electric airplane can drastically reduce carbon levels, reversing climate change: veganism can.
Ironically, if you want to put a pro-China spin on this tragic tale, it would be that China (with several centuries of Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian cultural tradition behind it) could now lead the world in creating a new cultural tradition of eating drastically less meat and dairy —or none at all.
