    The whole concern about climate was exposed as being paper thin when China became the major producer of solar panels and EVs. All of a sudden, western countries stopped caring about the climate and started doing protectionist policies to prevent cheap Chinese tech from being used.

      that too is gone from the national narrative; but i suspect it will come back if western efforts to grey rock adoption of these chinese product succeeds.

      i bet that the pain that climate change induces will be the deciding factor.

        I expect so as well, and if the kinds of events like the the fire in LA are going to be the new normal then there’s going to be a huge incentive to start taking serious action. The economic damage is stupendous.
