Elon Musk Warns of a Bleak Future if Climate Change Isn't Addressed

The Tesla founder predicted that unchecked environmental damage would give rise to hundreds of millions of refugees.

Elon Musk, co-founder of electric carmaker Tesla Motors, warned on Thursday that climate change will spark a refugee crisis of catastrophic proportions if no action is taken.
In a speech in Berlin, the Tesla chief executive said Europe's current wave of people seeking asylum, prompted mostly by political violence, will be dwarfed as fresh water becomes scarce, food supplies become insecure and weather changes in the coming decades.
"Today's refugee problem is perhaps a small indication of what the future will be like if we do not take action with respect to climate change," Musk told an audience at Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. "Today, the challenge is in terms of millions of people, but in the future, based on what the scientific consensus is, the problem will be in the hundreds of millions and much more severe."

Elon Musk also thinks liberals have no sense of humor according to some MAGA morons.
 
Hertz is embracing its name and using it to empower the future of electric vehicles (EVs) in a recent move to accelerate the electrification of its fleet of rental cars. CNBC reports that by the end of 2024, the rental giant plans for EVs to make up 25% of its 500,000 vehicles, up from 10% in mid-May.*
With deals to purchase 330,000 EVs from Tesla, Polestar, and General Motors, Hertz will soon be providing savings for customers and reducing planet-overheating air pollution.*
In 2022, the globe-spanning rental car company announced a 12% increase in annual profits amid the push to electrify its fleet, which the company partially credited to its EVs being between 50-60% cheaper to maintain than its gasoline-powered cars.
Hertz’s latest announcement is more than just a savvy business play; it’s a significant development in the EV revolution and for the automobile market as a whole. EVs offer many advantages over traditional internal-combustion engine cars, including lower operating costs, tax incentives, and cleaner air, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Hertz’s move could have a ripple effect on everyday people and the environment in numerous ways. One potential impact is that as companies like Hertz buy more EVs and demand continues to increase, the cost of these vehicles will come down, as reported by Forbes. This can lead to more affordable used EVs entering the market, benefiting consumers who are eager to go electric but may be put off by high prices.
Furthermore, such an initiative has potential environmental benefits, as more EVs on the roads means less pollution from transportation. Indeed, as reported by CNBC, half of Hertz’s rentals come from business travelers, many of whom are increasingly choosing EV rentals as part of their companies’ efforts to reduce their negative environmental impact for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

And yet Musk will support and help those very same politicians who work against addressing Climate Change

I don't think so. He's passionate about Climate Change. Been that way for years, decades. He may lean right but leaning right deals with more than one issue.
