We guys can continue picking on words, but really... does grammatical really is what determines a flaw in an argument?
Why don't you guys pick what you actually can against my point?
So you guys ran out of things to say and the only thing is to pick word choices?!

All of humanities accomplishments have started by discussion and having someone bring ideas to the table to provoke change.

I agree 100% with this. What I'm arguing is what comes AFTER the issue has been raised.
Do we continue to TALK about it... hoping somewhere along the way, we can finally make a difference in policy maybe a decade or 2 later?
Or do we start DOING something about it, however small the step.

How much does my car cost is irrelevant in this topic. The only thing relevant is that, I chose to go EV because I wanted to MAKE a difference in the problem of sustainability and climate change. I could have gone a M5/6... but I ended up getting a Tesla because I thought that was the right thing to do.
Are you suggesting the very same argument I used in my example that because EV is too expensive, so even if I care about environment, I shouldn't choose an EV?! Then you are EXACTLY the hypocrite that I said in my example.
There are MANY EV or PHEV options in the market. Granted they aren't cheap econobox like a Yaris or something... but I just DID what's in my power to make the world slightly better. However slight that might be.
By choosing otherwise WHILE saying you want to bring awareness to climate change is hypocritical if not laughable. Reminds me of that politician who's all GREEN and yet fly private jets.
