The two-day shutdown comes at a time of record-breaking extreme heat across the globe, with July poised to be the hottest month in history.

This is a climate catastrophe! If you still drive a petrol car, you are the problem! Those poor Iranians…
Stop putting the blame on the individual when corporations easily account for over 70% of global emissions and pollution. My gas powered car isn’t gonna change shit.
This guy is a gigantic troll, look at his profile.
Maybe a troll, but not wrong.
Your gas guzzler was manufactured by a big corporation. You chose to buy it and keep polluting with it.
I shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for living my life in this hellscape that were forced to live in. I’m not going to inconvenience myself and make own life harder while the elite fly around in private jets and are more wasteful in a day than I could ever be in my entire life. I care about the environment and want things to change, but I’m not the problem. And if you are trying to make the common person bare the guilt for climate change, you’re part of the problem. I do what I can when I can. But to inconvenience myself or spend more of what little money I have to make a negligible difference compared to what a corporation or a single billionaire could do is not gonna happen. Simple as that.
Okay are you going to buy me an electric car then?
The thing about being a radical is that you actually have to do something, not just spout bullshit online.
I live a simple eco-conscious life, so I don’t have the resources to afford any transportation.
Good point, I’ll just commute 2 hours both ways by bike then. Thanks for your contribution. /s
Yes, thank you for doing your part. Stick to bike paths when available. As another user pointed out, cars also contribute to local air pollution with brake dust and microplastics from the four big tires.
/s means sarcasm. I’m not going to abandon my life by commuting 4 hours a day. And I don’t have any money to buy a new car
You are killing our shared future! Small sacrifices today are an investment in a greener tomorrow.
The sacrifice you demand is not small.
Compared to the annihilation of our environment? Hello! It’s reaching 55 degrees quite regularly if you’ve failed to notice!
The sacrifice you demand is life-ending. From the perspective of the person you demand it of, it is not better than the alternative.
It also is not a solution. Even if cars stopped being a thing across the world right now, it would only slow global warming down a little, not stop it.
Billions of people live without their own car. Transportation is an unfair advantage to get ahead and it costs the rest of us profoundly.
