Initially, I was very surprised the governor of California thought we, as a state, would be able to reduce new car sales to zero-emission vehicles only by 2035. I personally didn't think it was possible and didn't understand the urgency, but after reading the Uninhabitable Earth from early in this course, I felt 2035 isn't soon enough. Even my...
