RE:Global emissions rose last year the hypocrisy is rampant and the greentards still don't get it
places where emission keep increasing are jurisdiction outside of USA where the article said EV adoption were the highest. Why? because the green cultist can't see that more coal plants, more mining/extraction/refining of nickel, manganese, lithium, copper, cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, graphite, rare earth metals translate to MORE petro consumption, more emission and pollution. EVs also wear out tires faster that contributed to more air (soot) pollution. EV heavy weight mean more road repair, more asphalt (tar sand) consumption. All these are supporting oilsand producers which i'm not complaining. The most recycled metals are steel and aluminum which what ICE constructed of. Hence ICE manufacturing are alot cleaner than making EVs. China, india,etc are building more coal plants for power generation for their EVs and making solar panels. One step forward, 2 steps back and the greentards see that as progress.
USA has the lowest EV penetration of developed world also saw their emission dropped. Funny how reality work but befuddled the greentards, seems that their noggin got dented.

Electric cars are living up to their promise of limiting human demand for oil and cutting transportation emissions.So why arent you hearing about this in the news? Because its happening mostly outside the United States (and Canada). https://www.marketwatch.com/story/report-global-emissions-rose-last-year-but-evs-are-making-a-dent-bce44920?mod=home-page
