> So should Europe continue on the green path while losing GDP share to US, China and India? So the article is about huge private EV car marketshare in Denmark, but for the whole EU the EV marketshare of passenger vehicles is around 25% right now, plus around 10% PHEV. China (a much bigger car market) is at 43% EV marketshare, and also another 20% for PHEV. They have invested much more in the passenger vehicle transition to EV than us (the EU). And they did it partly (also, of course, for other reasons) because they have seen this as an opportunity to leapfrog powerful foreign carmakers that have made or sold huge amounts of ICE cars in China and create their own independent car industry. Which means this is clearly the wrong question. Even if somehow the EU car industry returned to making ICEs, it won't save them. > India of course would be toast in a hotter world, but perhaps it too poor right now to do much about it easily. Even so, their 3-wheeler market is already overwhelmingly EVs. > But discoordinated action won’t move the dial. And this take is incorrect too. If you have a look at the IPCC RCP scenarios, the worst (RCP8.5 I believe) has already been dropped because it's improbable because the emmission curve has been trending a bit lower as a result of our actions. China's CO2 output is peaking right about now. And we have CBAM. We have to do what's possible.
