I interpreted the meteors/city on fire as short hand for general armageddon because it is probably pretty hard to draw; in a single comic panel: droughts, crop failure, wild fires, floods, severe storms, wars over fresh water, etc. You know, the actual things that will kill people from climate change.
But if you interpret the meteors as literal, then what is the point of the comic? A swarm of meteors is not influenced at all by someones choice to drive an EV or not. So this comic is no longer a critique of that choice.
The point is that some people won’t even take the smaller steps towards a sustainable future with flimsy excuses, and then might do it when everything is going to shit.
In this case it’s someone opposed to those positive changes.
The point of the comic to is to show how futile and silly these excuses are, using hyperbole at the end, to show how foolish and stubborn these people are.
I’m sorry that you’re not the type of person to get jokes, and hopefully you can learn to recognize the mechanics of humor at some point so you understand why and how jokes work for other people.

I think the actual joke is that there isn’t any more future so it’s finally future proof cause it’s not getting any better and only worse.
Yeah that too probably
