The recent IPCC reports are scary, and we're not doing nearly enough to stay within 1.5C warming.
Banning ICEs would be great, but will obviously get a lot of push-back from industry and people who don't have great alternatives. EVs have their own problems and can't scale fast enough - we need more options.
So countries considering ICE bans should invest as much as possible into public transit, denser urban development, and making bikes and ebikes more viable for more of the population. They should consider those critical, Manhattan-Project-style, investments and pour hundreds of billions into it if necessary.
