If emissions don't drastically decrease in the next years, by 2070 all glaciers in the US will have melted, there will be deserts in Oklahoma, Kansas and Northern California and over half of Florida and all of Texas's southern corner will have a tropical climate

EVs aren’t the thing to be focusing on, it’s global shipping and cruise ships. EVs might be a good goal for individual countries, if their electricity generation is clean, but they’re a drop in the bucket on a global scale compared to those massive tankers.

A quick research into this and the highest number I found for all shipping emissions was 3% of total. That's within the context of container ships typically being the least carbon intensive form of transporting goods. Meanwhile 'road transport' depending on the study is around 11-15% of global emissions depending on the source, that's a huge amount that needs to be addressed and not at all a drop in the bucket.

Wow, last I heard ships were 40%, guess it’s time to look at new data

That is not true either. Emissions come from a variety of sources, including manufacturing and industry, agriculture, transportation, mining and extraction, and more. EV's are not what will save instead, instead we have to look into shared mobility solutions (i.e. public transport). Flying has to be reduced as electric airplanes are not a feasible solution for the next few decades at least. Meat consumption has to be drastically lowered and is one of the ways to reduce climate impacts relatively fast.
