A lot of things are ending life on earth as we know it. CO2 emissions are just one of them. It’s like the stupid argument that plastic bags are fine because a hundred plastic bags emit less CO2 than one cotton one… But plastic bags aren’t even close to being a significant element of CO2 emissions. It’s a waste problem.
In this case, it’s saying that particulate pollution won’t magically get better by switching to EVs. The research shows that that’s true.
Yea totally, that’s why I suggested the rewrite that I did. It seems a bit nuts to exclude CO2 from the phrase:
… when CO2 emissions are like ending life on earth as we know it.
