that's not what my argument was at all, and not what the graph showed. anyway this gave me enough anxiety that i'm done

I only objected to the graphic because it makes obviously screwy claims about power generation, somehow concluding that electricity is more polluting than double that of oil extraction, refinery and transportation, which is clearly false unless you're in America or somewhere else that aggressively refuses to invest in wind and solar, despite onland wind being the cheapest form of electricity. The rest of the thread is you pointlessly trying to defend the absurd conclusion of the misleading graphic that it doesn't matter whether you buy a polluting car or not. It does.

My advice for everyone: Next car, buy electric for the planet's sake and the sheer joy of driving that brings (turn off spongy acceleration gasoline emulation mode), and buy second hand for your wallet and the planet's sake.

Don't believe the FUD around EVs; stop repeating the lies that the petrochemical industry is pushing so hard.

being unable to read an infographic is not fud

Credulously believing anything you see because somebody made it look pretty is not the same as learning or critical thinking.
