Though the leaders of some countries (we won’t name names) feel the Paris accord treats them unfairly, most other world powers are justifiably concerned about rising sea levels, increasingly severe and unpredictable weather patterns, and the chaos that climate change promises to bring.

The great thing about electric cars, JoAnn, is they cost much less to run that gas-powered cars. I have several friends in New Zealand with secondhand electric cars and they swear by them. Japan (which also has right hand drive) is a great source of secondhand electric cars. My friends were able to buy them for $US 10,000 – 20,000. This is a great bargain when you consider how cheap they are to run.
