   A lot of the electric car industry is propped up by government subsidy

     @sun you didn't finish the sentence.

     Can't have that.

     @eriner I disagree with you on this. Superficially rising co2 helps plants and farms but it goes along with massive reduction in biodiversity. Like if you replaced an old growth forest with a giant ocean algae bloom

     I think there are too many confounding variables to claim that biodiversity reduction is a direct result of CO2 increases (and the combustion of fossil fuels).

     Habitat destruction (and tangentially, the urban island effect) is more Occam's razor as far as I'm concerned.
