Only if the environmental narrative was cohesive and consistent lol.
If govts really cared about the environment they would push companies into remote working as much as possible instead of pushing for electric cars that are a hazard to the planet.

The only inconsistent thing is how much worse we find out it is as new studies come out.

I don't have the kind of job that can be done remotely, but I'm all for remote work where it's possible and desired. My best friend hated working from home at the height of covid because he's an extrovert who can't really afford to go out much. Now he works from home Mondays and Fridays and I think it's kinda the best of both worlds for him. I think that employers that already have office space for workers that could effectively do their job from home should give workers a choice. Maybe hybrid workers have required scheduled days in the office just to make sure they're there to attend necessary meetings or collaborations or whatever rather than it just be them coming in when they feel like it, but the technology has caught up to allow way more flexibility than ever before. If I had a 100% desk job, I would move somewhere cheaper and never come in. I know I'm not alone there, and I think there's no reason to hold that option hostage. Covid proved that it could be done for most white collar work, and we can't let them try to squeeze that Pandora back into its box.
I hate how the left hand panes look Ron DeSantis, and cutting carbon emissions isn't something that asswhipe would discuss since he and his predecessor, Senator Rick Scott, like to pretend climate change isn't real and it's "wokie/DEI/SJW/Socialist/Communist/Chinese/etc. bullshit". However he would definitely get mad at work from home, regardless of how much it betters the state of Florida, gotta keep those slaves in the fields where can see them, right?
If my company forces me into the office then my commute shall be counted towards the company's "carbon footprint", not mine
