  Yeah I'd 's/China/Humans/'. I'm referring to the fact that (mostly) everyone emits CO2 with cars, without caring about longer term impacts on global climate, sea rise, increase of hurricane frequency and intensity, etc.

    > (mostly) everyone emits CO2 with cars, without caring about longer term impacts on global climate, sea rise, increase of hurricane frequency and intensity, etc. I don't think that's accurate. Most? countries regulate CO2. European countries do, for example.

      According to this graph, car seems to be dominant in europe too. [2014] Of course Europe is doing better and I'd like to see more trains in Canada and the US. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/File:Modal_split_of_inland_passenger_transport,_2014_(%25_of_total_inland_passenger-km)_YB17.png http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/...

    Well the United States did from 1962-1983.[0] Unfortunately humans learn best from negative consequences, rather than from historical observation. Most bad things have already been tried before. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stormfury https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stormfury

      Doesn't sound like there were any major negative consequences - just that it was ineffective at stopping hurricanes and cyclones.
