I think people are forgetting that cars are about freedom

The freedom to go where you want when you want, and not have to stick to a bus/train schedule

Cars are about more than getting from point a to point b, its about getting from point a to point b on your time, no one else's

That freedom is convenience. All convenience comes at a cost. This one applies for the whole world

The attitude is me first, my time is worth more than the world... Very American

I cringe harder every time you say this

I didn't imply my time, or anyone's, is worth more than the world...

Im a libertarian, I don't think governments should do more than what is listed in the constitution (I know it only applies to America, but I would argue that it would improve many places, but that's for another discussion) and taking away cars isn't in there, saving the world isn't in there

I would argue governments are incapable of saving the world from climate change, or anything else and it's more up to scientists to find a solution (whether it's greener cars or something else entirely)

Where does the government come into this exactly? No one talked about banning cars. Public transit is something the majority of America supports.

The biggest offenders are not individual citizens, they are large industrial entities that need more oversight. They're deferring the environmental costs of doing business to everyone else

Individuals do need to take action. Everyone does. And if that means getting somewhere a little slower on someone else's schedule at times, that's life. What a minor sacrifice

If sounded like you did, not outright but that was the vibe I was getting, if im etting about that then im sorry.

I definitely agree with the 2nd part, though i'm not sure what oversight would be needed or even possible, but I think that's definitely where we should be looking at.

I think we can agree something needs to be done, and that corrupted industries are the biggest offenders, I think we should definitely do everything we can to get off fossil fuels but in the meantime I don't think using cars less will make too much of an impact

Don't forget the ice cream. Animal agriculture is right up there with fossil fuels

Thank goodness no one has defended that here at least

It's like she's trying to be the pretentious, condescending vegan stereotype. She somehow seems to believe than being selfish is an exclusively American trait. She needs to quit being an ignorant bigot

I'm not saying that most Americans necessarily have that attitude, or that it's a typical American

But that mindset is most commonly held by Americans

And damn if South Park isn't about Americans

if you really want to make a difference you should advocate for more and better public transit and cleaner cars instead of bitching at and insulting meat eaters.

im getting some very toxic xenophobic vibes from your posts. This is very problematic.

Yeah in the long term countries will need to develop efficient public transit systems that will work for most people.

If all of China and India were to start driving that would probably end the world right there.

hell, if all of new york city were to start driving the place would become uninhabitable. the population isn't getting smaller
