    I agree and disagree

    I noticed you missed this first bit 😜

    The report argues for increased use of electric vehicles

    So looking at the report specifically for the bit I want to see and ignoring everything else:

    Electric vehicles powered by low-emissions electricity offer the largest decarbonisation potential for land-based transport, on a life cycle basis (high confidence)

    https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGIII_SummaryForPolicymakers.pdf

    I agree with you that it would be nice for places to be more cycle friendly, mainly because:

    Roads: $146.8 million

    Shits expensive, I would love for them to put $146 million towards public transport, mainly trains that run faster than every 30 minutes and don’t take a damn hour to get to the city compared to 25 minutes by car and loads more non-road sharing bike lanes/tracks etc

    But while Jay mentioned about having great cycling infrastructure in Steeeeeeeeevenage he flicks back to London with the point

    But that still left me thinking, who cares if you’re in Stevenage, if everywhere has cars and there’s no traffic? What’s the issue? If cars are powered by renewables so what
