> Please educate me, isn't climate change a lost cause now? We know its inevitable and despite wide awareness, no one basically does anything.
Er, no. It is inevitable, but the degree of change absolutely continues to matter.
> US government does not even believe that any such thing is happening and has relaxed EPA regulations on polluters and such, so is CA restricting sale of fossil fuel vehicles going to matter in the long run?
Here's the context you might be missing: CA is a huge automobile market, and has historically set a number of requirements that automakers eventually incorporate into all cars sold into the US market. It's cheaper to build one SKU than two, as long as the CA SKU is only mildly more expensive than the non-CA would be.
Additionally, auto manufacturers will have similar requirements for the EU market on a similar timeline.
