We understand. What are we supposed to do, sell our houses and move to a condo downtown? Whose going to buy them, and where the fuck are we going to get the resources to house that many people without a massive energy/resource exploitation. So "no cars" is childish and naive. Awareness isn't the issue, but awareness of an issue we have no control over does nothing of value to anyone other than add anxiety.
