It's only going to get worse, we should have been shifting to cleaner energy MUCH faster. I realize it's not our fault but it's always this way, everyone pays for the tops inaction.
Any evidence for this claim?

Meet the Green Energy Group Behind the Study That's Driving Calls To Ban Gas Stoves
The green energy group behind a study cited in Consumer Product Safety commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.'s call to ban gas stoves has partnered with the Chinese government to implement an "economy-wide transformation" away from oil and gas.

It's not that electric cars are expensive, it's that good looking electric cars are expensive.
A chevy volt is no more than 25k, less with all the rebates they brought back.
But nobody wants a volt. They want an Ioniq 5, A Kia EV6, A Tesla. I totally sympathize too, I'd love an Ioniq 5 or 6 but I know it's my fault for not accepting the uglier, better for the environment, affordable option.
Alternatively you can go hybrid, the new Civic has been looking really good and they've seriously upgraded their interior quality, they're not as reliable as they used to be but if you just want a cool looking hybrid, there's going to be more options on the civic coming this year iirc. Including a brand new hatchback with the same hybrid options.

They tell you FACTS about who did what that you can independently check.
ZOMGH bias!

Yeah I just independently checked. This is the only website I found such a claim and it has a huge political lean.
Do people not know how to find a good source of information these days? No wonder people believe all sorts of dumbass shit.
Find me a source that leans neither left nor right that confirms this and we'll talk.
Nice false equivalence, it's easy to test if water is wet, your claim is much more extraordinary and so your evidence needs to match. Learn to vet your information.
Let me break it down for you a little more, if you find a source that has ANY obvious bias, you should question it, research it, find more articles/papers that confirm it. If you can't you're probably better off assuming it's a liberal or conservative bullshit piece.

www.allsides.com I would not use CNN or the National Review to check my facts because they are significantly likely to spin a story with some kind of bias. Now Reuters on the other hand? Yeah, that's the first place I'd look to confirm.

Reuters is a propaganda site, just like National Review. National Review is especially insidious as it's a conservative site still promoting the boomer delusions of Modernism, Protestantism, Neoliberalism, Americanism, and Democracy to placate conservatives like some sort of opiate.

Honestly it sounds like you're inserting your confirmation bias. At a glance Tom Steyer seems to be a climate activist. If you have problem with climate activists the problem is not the climate activist.
This sounds like some people got mad about their gas stoves potentially going away, and then got mad that we're trying to do something to get China, one of the biggest polluters on the planet to do something about it.
From your own article
"Despite saying he’s concerned over China’s alleged human rights abuses, Steyer said Washington and Beijing would have to find ways to cooperate, specifically citing work the U.S. and China would have to do to tackle climate change."
Oh no truly insidous! What a monster Steyer is. /Sarcasm
Look I hate the Chinese government as much any other person who values Western Democracy as the best way of life and governance BUT he's using something called nuance and context. We're in a climate crisis and even if WE fix our entire country, China would still be a massive issue with pollution, he's not wrong in that we should try to get them to do something about it.
If you want to talk about mistrust of money, government, and corporation, sure I don't trust them either, but your options are to start a revolution or well, this is what you get. Plus of course, that's merely an idle thought, there's no doubt there's corruption anywhere, but we don't have any truly undeniable proof of who, when, where, and how. We have ideas, we observe some things and come to conclusions, but our conclusion are not the same as evidence.
People today need to get that in their heads.
I'd be all for making lobbying illegal, stripping corporations of most of their rights, making it easier for more people to be politicians, and taking the money out of that system to eliminate some of the greed that entices scum to become politicians. All for it, but that's a big thing to do and I'd need much more than just me to want that.
Anyways, I have to go now. I'll come back to this later maybe. Kudos for actually providing some evidence, I just don't think the conclusion you arrived to is correct.
Climate change is a problem and it should be addressed, nothing short of murdering Xi and taking over China ourselves will stop their evil human rights abuse. we would require war or years of subtle, stealthily providing the truth to Chinese citizens to stir their fury and then somehow subtly give them the tools to overturn their own shitty government.
I hate their government, but Climate change does need to be addressed so he has a point when he says we need to get them to do something about their pollution. Nothing insidious about that. I love gas stoves too but fuck, I have an induction hotplate and if I really wanted I could buy 3 more for 300 and cook that way until I can afford a full induction stove.
