No. Look at some of the posters on this very site. Anti-science. Conspiracy theorists. Religious literalists.

Is this *finally* the moment we wake up to the climate crisis?

Paart of me looks a that and goes "I want it". It is the little boy that is still in me. But then I think where would I park it? Would it get even 10 mpg? And of course the various costs would be through the roof, initial cost, maintenance, insurance, fuel . . . I still want to lose some more weight so it is still walkies for me for a while.
Unfortunately I don't live in an area that I could survive without a car.
I didn't get a car until I was 21. Prior, I was turned down for employment because I didn't have personal transportation.
I suspect it is less an unwillingness and more an inability to change one's life style.

In both the US and UK the political structure (FPTP, rather than PR) make the advancement of such parties slow to non-existent. We're essentially locked into "democracies" that promote and protect unfettered capitalism - the root cause of global warming.

What are they called if the owner is female?
You would have to build the Garage Mahal to store it in. Which would mean clearcutting a portion of a forest. Which would mean more greenhouse gasses. Which would mean you killed the planet for a big truck. Hey! Maybe they should name this truck The Planet Killer?
Going downhill with a strong tailwind, it gets 8 mpg. So, not too bad if you can get gas cheap.
My bike gets 0 mpg. If I pour gas on it, it just falls on the ground and goes nowhere. So it's not very fuel efficient either.

Necessary. Multiple of my female neighbours have cars able to pull their horse trailers. (You could argue that it isn't necessary to have horses.)What are they called if the owner is female?
I'm afraid to answer.What are they called if the owner is female?
I would argue that those horses are capable of pulling their own trailers. If you have horses, then use them instead.

Oh dear. I'm just as childish. I'd like a completely unnecessary Mitsubishi Barbarian, just because I love the name. Sad but true.I'm afraid to answer.
What climate crisis? I thought it was natural fluctuations.

Aha Problem solved. I will just win the Megamillions or Powerball and use the money to buy the car. I will also contribute enough money to plant a thousand trees or more. I wish all problems could be solved so easily.
That's wrong. It's not.
There you go. Nothing that throwing more money at a problem can't fix.
Then why was there vegetation where there wasn't supposed to be vegetation?
"Their results show that most, or all, of Greenland must have been ice-free within the last million years, perhaps even the last few hundred-thousand years."

Or maybe I misunderstood your comment... I realized it could be taken two ways

A ticket is only two bucks.There you go. Nothing that throwing more money at a problem can't fix.
Occasionally, when the jackpot gets ludicrously high I will pay my idiot tax. Though I am not that big of an idiot so I only buy one ticked. I figure that it is two bucks of cheap entertainment.

Please try to use a reliable source if you want an answer. Why do you think that there should not be vegetation underneath Greenland's ice cap? I doubt if any scientists said that it was not supposed to be there.
There are always dissenting voices:
Sorry, But With Global Warming It's The Sun, Stupid
"It worked! As reported in the Aug. 25 issue of the journal Nature, Jasper Kirkby and his 62 co-authors from 17 institutes in Europe and the U.S. announced that the sun indeed has a significant influence on our planet's temperature. Their "Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets" (CLOUD) experiment proved that its magnetic field does, in fact, act as a gateway for cosmic rays that play a large role in cloud formation. The report stated "Ion-induced nucleation [cosmic ray action] will manifest itself as a steady production of new particles [molecular clusters] that is difficult to isolate in atmospheric observations because of other sources of variability but is nevertheless taking place and could be quite large globally over the troposphere [the lower atmosphere]." In other words, the big influence exists, yet hasn't been factored into climate models."
