You have to show how trends in one variable correlate with trends in another over time. I guess you skipped stats courses? You don't bother to look at the studies I presented. There are many, go read them. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=PM+2.5 Furthermore, I do not have to show anything.

You pretend that technology has solved the problem when, in fact, the problem remains. In particular, pun intended, areas where coal is still extensively used are heavily polluted. If your house was on fire would you be okay with the fire department only half putting out the fire? The levels of fire were "drastically decreased" after all. The trends are massively impressive in terms of reducing toxic particulates from fossil fuels, almost entirely eliminated with very little left to accomplish. On the other hand, the dangers of lithium and cobalt are toxic to humans and will contaminate drinking water for billions of people. Thus, it is the renewable sector which has to account for unacceptable pollution which threatens human life. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rise of electric vehicles: EVolution of the fleet - PwC UK How many EVs are there in the UK - EV market statistics 2024 - Zapmap (zap-map.com) That is just one company, Rob, no one knows the total numbers of fleet vehicles. We do know that private EV purchases in Britain are sharply down, you have not even attempted to dispute those numbers. "Car industry data, provided by the sector’s trade body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), showed sales to private buyers had fallen 7.7 per cent in April. This week’s SMMT data revealed a similar trend, with EV sales to the general public slipping another 2 per cent in May." That is because government consumer incentives were removed last year, and now that fleet EVs are about to lose their government support, the same will happen to them. How could you miss this, Rob, (or perhaps you just do not want to acknowledge it?) "In a statement, SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes told City A.M. “Salary sacrifice registrations are not listed separately as there is currently no official way to measure them as neither HMRC, DVLA or scheme operators provide this data.”" So there is no overall data for the fleets, you are just hoping that the current trends do not continue.
