Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

      Have you considered that you wouldn’t have needed air conditioner if it wasn’t for cars (OK there are exceptions places for this)

      have you considered that the buses run better with fewer cars and more bikes, and not just like, whether this poses a moral quandary to you personally?

        Have you considered that you’re making up a guy in your head and arguing with him about some shit that i didn’t say and offered no opinion on

        whether this poses a moral quandary to you personally

          no one asked you to ride a bike, what the actual fuck are you commenting if you don’t have an opinion to express. we’re talking about the death of millions from climate catastrophe in the next hundred years and you’re being myopic.

              figured i’d rather wildly underestimate than check the presumably more horrifying real numbers.

      this is carbrained in the sense that the article is proposing much needed vast changes to urban transportation and the first inclination is “but what about meeeeeeeeeee”

      I mean god’s sake the byline is “Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.”, figure it out
