We keep being fed the lie that we can solve climate change by buying different versions of the same stuff, no sacrifice involved.
The best car is a train or a bus. Some situations definitely require cars, especially when folks are disabled or when temperatures of 100+ degrees make it difficult to wait for a bus. But this is just a different type of theatre. Public transit is the only real way to decrease CO2 emissions.

No one is suggesting to only do one thing (apart from maybe the people who are monomaniacal about nuclear or carbon taxes. Both good solutions but they seem mostly to be wielded as weapons to stop all the other stuff happening).
