Driving change: Is it time to ban gasoline cars?

Is it time to ban gasoline-powered vehicles?
Climate activist and author Aakash Ranison says that while electric vehicles may not be a silver-bullet solution to climate change, they are an important and urgent step in the right direction. On the other side, journalist Jonathan Miltimore argues that there are actually lots of drawbacks and hidden costs to producing electric cars. Gas-powered vehicles, he says, are simply too important-to our individual lives and to the health of our economies-to ban outright, arguing that we should instead focus our time and efforts on other ways of combating climate change. Watch the Doha Debates Podcast as they debate the efficiency, affordability and viability of eliminating gas-powered vehicles, and what the future of climate change might hold..

I enjoyed the session thanks to Karen for being the great host. Thank you so much team for making me a part of it. I hope it'll help listeners.

Jon definitely won that debate with more consistent and logical stance. Aakash was definitely losing some of consistency to press on the urgency of the matter.

great podcast. totally loved it. i enjoyed how two debaters tried to present their ideas without hurting the sentiment of others. As a Gen Z ,I believe we need a sustainable environment. I feel myself more inclined to the points made by Akash. the ideas Johathan bring seems great too, but we can not deny climate change which is affecting all of us and everything around us is changing rapidly. we need a sustainable future. Thank you to the host who moderated this podcast effectively. thank you Doha Debates, we need these kind of discussion more often.
