"If I can't run a marathon then why leave the couch?"

  Where did I say we shouldn't do this? Was it perhaps in this comment where I said we should do it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35610696 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35610696 My problem is in calling this a "fix." It's not a "fix." It's an incremental step, at best, and one that will make no difference unless we have massive, worldwide action. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the comment guidelines: > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

    If you apply your own advice to the original comment in this thread, they were saying it was one of the easiest things we can do, not that it was sufficient by itself. If I apply that interpretation of the original comment, and look at your comments as a rebuttal (which the strength of your language implies), it forces me to interpret them as "worrying about transportation is futile". Even in this comment here: > it's an incremental step, at best You are implying my interpretation wasn't wrong. If it's a step "at best", then what is it at worst?
