(It’s not just the greenhouse gas emissions from all the combustion engines, BTW. It’s also the greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing the asphalt, the destruction of vegetation to make room for pavement, etc. Electric cars can help treat the symptoms, but cannot cure the disease.)
Its the entire package. The tires, environmental destruction to make way, the manufacturing, the maintenance, all just to shuttle everyone around in isolated boxes going mostly the same direction. Its a fucken joke.
All those Indonesian tropical rainforest burned for the palm oil, and Amazon forest for the cattle. Both are mega diversity areas for plants and animals and many remained undiscovered
