Does that mean I now have no credibility on any topic or just man made climate change?   

What's the standard here for "being credible"?  Simply agreeing with everyone and I'm automatically in the credible group?

I agree with you on EV and ICE, but it will take time, decades and maybe centuries and new tech before we can shift away from ICE vehicles and fossil fuels. 

What irreversible, man made climate change did you experience that was caused by fossil fuels?  

Just credibility for climate; it would be beyond-presumptuous of me to base everything you say off of that one line.

Fossil fuels will never go away, but they need to be cut down in places where it is feasible, such as public transport (more electric buses and even taxis) and city/municipal vehicles. Hell, even emergency vehicles (but parts and labour would need to be cheaper for it to be feasible) would be fair game.

As for what I've witnessed, in Alberta it was a section of a wetland-ish area where trucking had just started to pick up and it caused a ton of acid rain by the time I moved back to Ontario (admittedly, it was in the, "industrial area," part of Calgary, that was largely untouched before I moved there) and then where I used to live in Maple, acid rain also became a regular occurrence one summer, when dump truck after dump truck were a part of building a school near my house.

The former is irreversable, while the latter was in a residential area, so that's why it lasted just for a summer.

Also, outboard motors on a lake that we cottaged at this year, for the first time since 2008, had seen a bit of damage (it's a popular lake with a lot of boating), including a decreased fish population (though that could be a number of factors, in addition to pollution). This is potentially irreversable.

Now, I will admit that things have absolutely gotten more efficient in the past 20 years, but the effects can be seen.
