GM, FORD AND OTHERS KNEW ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE DECADES AGO - SHOULD WE STILL BE BUYING THEIR CARS?

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the historical knowledge of major automakers, specifically Ford and General Motors, regarding the detrimental effects of fossil fuels on climate change. The presenter highlights that as early as the 1960s, these companies were aware of the issue, yet actively worked to cast doubt on climate science from the 1980s onwards, prioritizing corporate greed over environmental well-being. The review questions the ethics of supporting these manufacturers today, even with their current EV offerings. While acknowledging the past misdeeds and calling for reparations, the video argues against boycotting these companies entirely, emphasizing the urgent need for a collective, all-hands-on-deck approach to transition to electric vehicles. The presenter stresses that the time for such a boycott has passed, and the focus must be on increasing EV choice and accelerating the transition, regardless of the manufacturer, to ensure global survival. The video concludes that while accountability is crucial, the immediate priority is widespread adoption of EVs to combat climate change.
