I concur. This is the same thing as blaming Climate Change on road vehicles when most of Climate Change is caused by energy, shipping, construction, concrete manufacture, glass making, etc. Mostly, Climate Change isn't caused by the People. It's business and industry causing it. IOW, greed causes Global Warming.
So they're focusing on a space that has negligible effect or no effect whatsoever on Climate Change, while there are massive methane and ethane leaks in Bakersfield and Aliso Canyon, the later of which dumped 100K tons of methane into the atmosphere. Pay no attention to most of the stupid oil rigs all over SoCal that are probably leaking mountains of methane and expressly not benefitting CA residents with fuel less than $8/gal.
Why does everything have to be so stupid?! Just shut it all down, every contributor, ban it all, bite the energy bullet now, and stop Climate Change before the dang Thermohaline breaks and Europe freezes over. Well, I guess that will stop it, but we'll all be half asleep and asphyxiating from so much CO2.

IIRC, road transportation contributes a relatively large amount.
- Maursault 4y agoThanks for the homework, but no thanks. You do it. Off the top of my head, consumer vehicles globally contribute 5-6% of Climate Change-causing emissions. If you'd care to look, you'll see this pales in comparison to the major contributors, electricity generation, agriculture, deforestation, oil drilling, etc. If we could overnight stop the major contributors, such as industrial processes, your ice car just wouldn't matter.
- wolverine876 4y agoIf you make the claims, the homework is yours. Otherwise, the claims could say anything.
- Maursault 4y agoI suppose you have data on that.
- tlb 4y agoRoad transportation is 15% of total CO2 emissions. See https://ourworldindata.org/transport#co2-emissions-by-mode-of-transport https://ourworldindata.org/transport#co2-emissions-by-mode-o...
