    Less bad is good, right?

    Obviously, stuff like better public transportation will be good
    Electric buses, trains etc

    Have been hearing about China’s solar adoption and them looking into thorium reactors.
    My country, India, seems to be looking more into solar too.

    I think it’s a correct direction. Though, the pace needs to be a bit faster

      Is it? If a serial rapist goes from 10 rapes a month to 5, have they done a good thing?

      (and obviously, driving a car is not comparable to rape - just illustrating that less of a bad thing is not a good thing)

        Less bad is good there too

        And as you said, not a good comparison.

        Pollution going beyond the capacity of our environment is the issue, right? Every decent improvement is a good thing there. Not that we should stay silent with that, but we should be cheering for improvements and encouraging them.
