Not really for automotive emissions. The US alone accounts for almost half the world's road CO2 emissions.
- foxhill 4y agoand automotive emissions account for ~10% of all CO2 emissions. 20% if you want to include all transport (e.g. sea shipping, planes, etc.) there’s been a lot of media attention on how individuals need to make an effort to beat climate change, but the reality is that industry is the only sector able to make a meaningful impact.
- marcinzm 4y agoThis thread is discussing EVs vs gasoline so not sure why you're changing the topic suddenly.
- foxhill 4y agoapologies, i don’t understand. you seemed to suggest cars are a significant contributor to CO2 emission.
- adrianN 4y ago10% is huge though.
- Reason077 4y agoExactly. If we could cut global emissions by even 10%, it would make a pretty meaningful dent in climate change. Unfortunately, as of now, global emissions are still rising!
