Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
Becuse scooters are something the youths and poors use, massive SUVs are a upper middle class thing, obviously.
Because the huge SUVs that you have in the US are already banned in the EU.
Because, as I walk through the city, it is 10x more common to find an e-scooter blocking the sidewalk than an SUV?
Or, maybe, because SUVs do not go at 25kph in walking areas?
I can absolutely agree with this..
to be clear about what’s a real problem, and what’s not. (...) Pick up trucks and monster SUVs are ~~-the-~~ a problem and we need a public debate about those 3-4% biggest cars, the space they claim and the danger they pose.
EDIT: My city has specific, identified and plenty spaces for e-scooters. Either the rental e-scooters break down (too) frequently, or (some of!) the users of those are assholes that abandon them at random.
Totally disagree.
It's the SUVs. Imagine how much space for e-scooters there would be if all the SUVs would be gone.
Maybe lets make more parking spaces for e scooters and not suvs.
Also one is a much bigger polluter than the other.
