If you're gping through that trouble, lay the tram tracks so the next politician cant open that lane up to car traffic.

Tram systems could be made that simple as adding capacity is just add another tram car to the link onto certain routes. We do also need trains but trams serve a more localized purpose, which often make up the majority of someone's trips

Lets go a step farther and put that bus on tracks, which will make it even easier and safer to implement self driving.

The fuel tank restriction could actually be dangerous for extremely rural parts of Canada. I've been stuck for over 7 hours on a rural highway in yhe winter.

And a weaponized front end that makes collisions with smaller cars more deadly for the smaller car

Doug ford will make that illegal because motorist are worried their paint would get scratched by the armored bike instead of the blood stains from unarmored bikes.

I'm not blaming the consumer, but if consumers take more responsibility it does give us more power. We have more political and legal arguments to say we've tried what is reasonable for us to do, now its time to hold corporations to do the same. Its also good for activism morale. Even if its just a small dent the effort proves change can happen and we can push for more change, support greener options, and inspire new innovations/solutions. This is better than an attitude of "well the world is fucked anyway so why should I care?"

Most places have not invested nearly enough in walkability or transit to abolish cars yet.

If everyone thinks their changes don't matter then i guess they don't, if everyone thought their changes did matter then we could see meaningful progress. Just because other sources are still producing doesn't make your efforts meaningless. There is also something to be said about secondary effects of minor changes, like inspiring others to commit to changes or inspiring new innovations or ideas to improve things.

Edit: id also like to add that new law and policy often comes with minor efforts on the consumer. Take recycling and organics bins for example. The consumer now has to sort their trash instead of throwing it all in 1 bin and I've met many people who think this is some big scam or conspiracy to control people or something.

The bigger concern is the rate that the climate changes. The climate is always changing but we have sped up so significantly that many ecosystems will not be able to adapt in time to survive.

A lot of ordinary people also say they want to do everything they can against climate change but then fail to make their own simple sacrafices like reusable cups, walking instead of driving, keeping the heat lower in winter etc. Everyone wants to end climate change but without sacraficing any modern conveniences

True. I rarely ever drink energy drinks but just the smell of a redbull nearly makes me sick, that could be due to some foggy memories of Jaeger bombs however.
