#12At this point i feel so much guilt for driving (on weekends now and then) a guzzler that i’d rather throw it to the bin and never look back. Either way i am never again driving an ice car.

If you drive very little and mostly on the highway, a mini ICE car may be more efficient than an electric car (due to the fixed emissions associated with producing the battery). Of course, an electric (or even hybrid) vehicle) is a far, far better choice for the vast majority of drivers.

#13>July marked the 46th-consecutive July and the 451st-consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th-century average. This is the better fact. >This made it the sixth-hottest July in the 143-year global climate record. This provides good context. (Followup question: Given some random distribution, how often should you experience a "6th hottest month" with records starting a particular year?) >The five warmest July…
Isn't there something weird about comparing a point to an average that includes itself? There have not been 46 Julys in the 21st century so the average 20th century temperatures are including some of those consecutive months of highs.
It just expresses the fact that temperatures have been rising already over the 20th century. It would make sense to make the comparison even in 1999.

Chart confirms SUV's are worse greenhouse emitter than sedan.

It doesn't apply south of the border???

So does this chart not include fixed costs? Because there isn’t a single ICE in chart that’s better than any Electric as far as I can see.

If you want to be serious about your individual impact, use a personal carbon footprint calculator. It could be that there are other actions you can take that have a lesser impact on your lifestyle. I see many people wasting their energy on cosmetic changes. Also, don’t forget that you have a limited power on the lifestyle you have. Many decisions that destroy the environment are outside of our control.

Mexico City is at 2200 meters. High altitude is going to be cooler.

July also isn't the hottest part of the year there. April or May is.
