In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.

My very good friend, third or fourth generation American but 100% Mexican descent, maybe or maybe not got a little smart with the border agent. We did have to wait a few extra minutes for him in the parking lot on the US side. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern international student with us had zero issues and whipped out two cans of beer out of his pockets while we waited. If you’re out there Fahad, you rock!
Yes, very much so. And essentially the whole of the US eastern seaboard and a lot of the western seaboard (where it’s beach and not cliffs). However, many are second and third homes that people can afford to lose, so I don’t know if sea rise provides the proper amount of impetus for change. But I do know some people who have or who are planning to sell waterfront properties in anticipation of possibly being stuck with worthless or non-existent property, so maybe. But they are mostly people for whom the loss while not poverty-inducing, would be a major financial hit.
And in the US nary a peep will be made in the legislative halls.
In the 90’s went to TJ with some friends who attended San Diego State University. At the club we drank warm Tecate with ice cubes. There were almost naked women on trapeze swings and porn playing on TV’s throughout the venue. It was pretty wild. The police all carried assault rifles. At the end of the night there was a mass of (mostly underage) young people processing through the border. Just had to show your driver’s license to get back into the US and there were no swipe machines to validate whether the license was real (that I recall)–just had to look like your photo. You were wise to keep your head about you while in TJ, but I don’t recall feeling unsafe. (But also was young and dumb.) Do kids still go there to party?
I suspect no significant change will occur until wealthy people from wealthy countries are forced to abandon homes in coastal areas, or some similar worldwide phenomenon occurs.
If we increase renewable energy an additional 29% in 10 years, that will be a really impressive step in the right direction in what seems to me a short amount of time. Fingers crossed. (I wonder if the predicted increase factors in the fickle winds of politics which seemingly could derail anything positive with the stroke of a pen. It blows my mind that there are people so adamantly against the EPA and not having things like Love Canal and the Cuyahoga River catching on fire at least a dozen times.)
I wasn’t arguing. I’m all for doing everything we can to minimize the damage we have done and continue to do. But they do cause waste. And as I’m no chemical engineer, and the technology has not been around long enough on a big enough scale that I’ve come across much about the issue, I just don’t know how bad that waste is, especially in comparison to waste produced by what we’re doing now. Hence why I asked the question. Otherwise, your explanation is helpful and I thank you.
Question: the electricity to power EV’s still comes from fossil fuels for the most part. At least in the US. Is the net effect of getting rid of internal combustion engines significantly better for the environment, considering also the procuring of materials to make batteries and the waste batteries produce at the end of their life cycle?
