I'm onboard with efficiency and conservation for their own ends, not to claim a superior moral position. My life on earth isn't causing tsunamis, earthquakes, sea rise, polar bear death, mosquito proliferation, or desert expansion. I've caused way more direct harm towards others by being a jerk than through environmental contamination.

Discussion of how climate works is good, but when people react without thinking through the consequences, it harms people, often times those with the fewest means.

Now CA is considering a bill to ban all emissions from vehicles by 2040. Sounds great on the face of it. What are the unintended negative consequences?
