    They don’t address car dependancy

    Some people got convinced that banning thermal personal vehicles was incompatible with the bigger picture goals. You can develop a 15min city and a public transport system while also banning thermal personal vehicles.

    I don’t know what’s driving this misinformation campaign about electric vehicles “polluting more” or “polluting just as much” when it takes 5 minutes of googling to find 6 reputable sources disputing both these claims

    Banning the sale of new thermal cars, motorcycles, vespas does help with climate change in the long run

    Some people have taken it upon themselves to refuse some incremental improvements and it’s only leading to doing nothing

      I agree with you here. This meme says “address” climate change like “EVs aren’t a perfect solution to climate change” as if that’s some big gotcha. They’re a meaningful, incremental improvement away from ICE vehicles.

      Public transit and bikes are better, but electrifying everything is also a good thing.
