On the insurance sub reddit and somewhat amazed at how insurance companies are citing climate change as a reason to hike rates. To me, at least, the science is not even close to settled, yet people on that sub accept it. And I know Reddit is leftist. Any opinions?

I'll not bore you with the maths. But in the UK, if we replaced every private car with an EV, and every gas boiler with an air-source heat pump, where will the electricity come from.

We are currently producing between 5% and 10% of the electricity to run all that new kit.

Last year the UK could barely keep the lights on, and was importing power via interconnectors from France (and I believe Norway).

Germany is in a worse state having shut down their nuclear power plants.

I suggest the WEF, driven European governments have a hidden plan. They intend to put pressure on ICE cars, and tax and legislate them out of existence.

They will not put billions into upgrading the street level infrastructure.

They don't need to.

There will be a few EVs but they will dictate (via smart meters) how often/when you can charge them.

Ultimately they plan the death of private transport.

They will restrict you to 15min neighbourhoods.

Work-from-home will become mandated where possible.

There is a BIG ulterior motive with western governments
