Surveys reveal that people are driven by short-sighted personal interest. No surprise. That's why we elect leaders who hopefully are better informed and can consider long term threats and opportunities.
I don't agree that it is realism to delay the transition off of fossil fuel cars. It would never have happened (it's already a fait accompli) without a push from government. Frankly, it is happening now only because China followed a government plan for a decade that has put them in an enviable, commanding global market position.
I do share some of your view of the foolish goals of the environmentalists.
