In my opinion, if we're banning ads for certain types of cars, we should ban ads for all cars. Tires, brakes, roads, manufacturing related pollution, etc are substantial for all. It just seems like feel-good legislation when we ignore the obvious.
- screye 2y agoGood call. If I remember right, then tire-wear [1] is the primary contributor to particulate emissions and a signifcant portion of vehicular pollution comes from the existence of the vehicle itself.

- giantg2 2y agoI think you're missing that those things involve CO2 as well. While CO2 is important, it's level of importance as ranked against other concerns is largely based on one's opinion.
