That everybody has a vote is actually a strength, and not a weakness.

And banning ICE vehicles is not up for discussion anymore, is it? Legislature or not, no company will be able to sell you a new one come 2035 anyway.

A more general thought so, one that troubles me, is that both "sides" of the public opinion cobflicts we see in the west today seem to be totally fine with using authoritarian measures for the greater good, some more than others and the far right actively advocating for it. It will be liberals that loose with that approach, as the goals of the political liberals can easily be framed as "they want to take away things", hence the far right gets a huge opening.

What makes you troubled in an authoritarian measure for the greater good ? There’s already plenty of it and most are ok with it: speed limits, parking laws, violence, sex with children, art (graph) on public/private infrastructure… the list goes on.

Law must always adapt to the society greater good and that means adding new one and removing the obsoletes.

You think a speed limit is authoritarian? Man, read some history...

The people who scare me moat, are tjose convinced to be right and morally superior. They can justify any atrocity by claiming to do it for the "greater good". The path to hell is covered by good intentions, and if I dare say so, we marched as a species already more than once.

By the way, if you want to get broad, public support for measures to fight climate change, argueing fro draconian enforxement is exaclty what people are affraid of. And what populists use to get support. In the end, you will achieve the opposite of what you want.
