Faced with an overwhelming problem, is is tempting to seek simple solutions which would boil the ocean.

Personally, I’d prioritize suboptimal solutions which prevent a rise in ocean temperatures.



Maybe I'm not very clever, but it's hard to guess what you're driving at here.


1. An argument (that others are also making) that we need to be willing to accept partial solutions.

2. A pun.


Yes, I understand that. I'm not sure which is the "partial solution" in this scenario, EVs?
