Since this is AI-generated "cartoon" is making the rounds on certain sites, No, EVs don't just shift pollution. EVs are *much* better on CO₂, considering the entire lifecycle.¹ They are also much better on total *material* footprint.²
AI-generated "cartoon" falsely claiming EVs just shift emissionsDespite its dependence on critical minerals, energy transition's material footprint lower than that of the fossil-fuel economy

CHURCHILL:
The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. 

2
CHURCHILL:
Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war.

3
CHURCHILL:
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free 
and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sun-

BBC PRESENTER:
Thank you prime minister 

4
BBC PRESENTER:
Mr hitler, your response?

5
HITLER [in the studio]:
Vell zis is hysterical woke nonsense as usual from mr Churchill

6
HITLER:
What we are proposing -

CHURCHILL:
Hang on

7
HITLER:
Let me finish - what we are proposing eez a simple power-sharing arrangement -

8
CHURCHILL:
What's he doing here

BBC PRESENTER:
It's important we hear both sides of the debate

9
CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate 
You don't debate fascists

10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!

11
HITLER:
Why must you people always compare ze things you don't like to 'fascists, Nazis, Hitler'...

CHURCHILL:
Because you are a fascist Nazi Hit-

12
HITLER [standing up, saluting]:
RAUSS!

BBC PRESENTER:

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

I'm old enough to remember when climate change was *going to* make us poorer in the future. Well, that future is now. New study shows how extreme heat and drought have already cut average household incomes across Europe, exacerbating inequalities in the process. bloom.bg/3QsSsJB @bloomberg.com
Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia Business School, says that advances in economic research coupled with climate change’s rapid acceleration now make it easier to pinpoint these costs.

“The compounding effects over time are big enough that they do already show up in economic statistics,” he said. “We are already poorer because of climate change.”
