> Maybe so. The giant asteroid is more tangible and it only takes a single nation’s effort to redirect it. If the entire USA switched to EVs in 5 years, it wouldn’t make a dent in the AGW problem. (it might buy a few more years until the 2 degrees C limit is reached, but then again, it would lower the market price for automobile fuel worldwide and people in other nations would respond by using even more of it)
