The Science Guy makes the case for a carbon-neutral society in the most badass fashion possible. 🔥🔥🔥 Watching this clip on Last Week Tonight was both hila...
If several of the biggest cities got infrastructure/mixed-use-development good enough to restrict car use in the next 5 years I would be very impressed. Passenger trains and some bike infrastructure would be nice too.
You add in issues like rural areas, housing prices/availability, and cost-of-living (plus stagnant wages) and even the disruptive approach will not be here in 5-10 years even if it did somehow had full support. USA is completely entrenched in rivers and lakes of asphalt. If cars are a disease, we are in at-least stage 3. That is a different fight.
So I can see why you would say that, but cynicism/realism are quite different than denialism.
That’s why the rest of the world should go to war with the USA and take away their cars. We can end genocide of trans people while we’re there, like we did in Germany.
I think that’s a bad example. Not Just Bikes even sees it as a lost cause, key point at the bottom:
