Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

    Have you considered that you’re making up a guy in your head and arguing with him about some shit that i didn’t say and offered no opinion on

    whether this poses a moral quandary to you personally

    jesse-wtf

      You’ll need to invent an air conditioned bicycle if you want me to ride

      no one asked you to ride a bike, what the actual fuck are you commenting if you don’t have an opinion to express. we’re talking about the death of millions from climate catastrophe in the next hundred years and you’re being myopic.

          figured i’d rather wildly underestimate than check the presumably more horrifying real numbers.

          you’re on the urbanism comm, c/doomer is that way. you’re getting push back because being a nihilist is profoundly antisocial, and this is a comm about making urban environments better in our society.

            gestures around the sweltering heat, visibly shimmering over the asphalt

            it’s hot

            I live 30 miles from work

            It’s not going to change anything re: climate change (this is the vote with your wallet of hexbear)

              How come there’s so much asphalt?

              It’s not going to change anything re: climate change (this is the vote with your wallet of hexbear)

              Why do you feel adressed by an article that proposes changing urban transportation if you live 30 miles from your work?
