    /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

            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.
