The transportation sector, dominated by road transportation and automobiles, is responsible for a significant portion of global oil consumption. In 2020, the transportation industry accounted for over 64% of the world's oil consumption, with automobiles being a major contributor to this figure.
In the United States, the transportation sector is the largest source of carbon emissions, with light-duty vehicles like passenger cars and trucks making up 57% of transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions.
Furthermore, in Europe, road transportation is the greatest emitter of greenhouse gases, with cars accounting for 60% of this total.
This widespread reliance on petrol-powered vehicles underscores their dominant role in global fuel consumption.

In that case you believe something is true just as certain people tell you it is. Recent history alone suggests that's not the greatest of ideas. Do you not feel a natural inclination to question things you are told, as a default position?

Even if you believed that using petrol cars somehow influences the weather, cold weather is much more potentially harmful than warmer weather to humans. And if you did look at any kind of reliable data on the topic, far fewer people perish due to adverse weather globally, than any time in our history. I suppose modern technology means that it is much easier know about, and see problematic weather events in foreign parts for ourselves. And some people might use that to their advantage in gaslighting those who are willing to believe anything they are told, without questioning.

I'd have given him some respect if he'd just parked it or filed it in the "too difficult" folder. Being the leader of the "free world" is really hard and I'm not really up to it. The "free world" is much bigger and much more problematic than I realised. I'm just gonna focus on America.

That would have been honest. And fair play to him, he is sometimes honest in that respect and after all he was only elected to be the President of America (not the world). But he want's it both ways, he want's to be the leader of the free world, without accepting most of the responsibilities or doing any of the hard work involved. He doesn't do difficult problems - sadly most of the problems in the world today are difficult.

Er, no. It's not whether they see things differently from me, or not. What we have evolved into is many believing something is true, just because who is saying it. So you had four years of Joe Biden as POTUS. And because the 'right people' were telling us all he was compos mentis, anyone saying otherwise (ie he clearly wasn't!), was a conspiracy theorist.

If they can get people to believe that Biden had all of his faculties, and actually running the US government, they can get them to believe pretty much anything.

The argument is a disingenuous one, since what humans do or don’t do doesn’t stop interglacial events, and as stats show, once the ambient temp reaches a certain level, there’s no stopping it.
And that level has been breached.
So all those arguing about stopping this or that are just faffing around with the deckchairs.
There well might be a contributing factor that speeds up the warming, but it’s utterly immaterial if, as is the case, there is zero chance of reversing it.

Cry That's pretty ironic coming from you. Admittedly though, that is the way things appear to be headed.

Increasingly people seem to have a very narrow minded, one-dimensional view of the world. Thinking (like you) that they have to pick a side, that there are only two sides to choose from, that their side always speaks the truth on every issue and that the "other side" is always wrong/lying about every issue.

People that don't subscribe to that kind of limited thinking are capable of seeing the reality - that both sides have some really good ideas and also some really bad ones.

Contrary to your 10:54 post - I don't have to pick a side and stick to a forced narrative about US Presidents. I'm capable of thinking that Biden was mentally/medically incapable and also thinking that Trump is intellectually/globally incapable.

You meanwhile are living in a bubble where everything from one side is good/true and everything from another side is bad/false. I'm sorry you can't see how limited and stupid that makes you look.

For example, do you think the majority of the illegal boat people collected and brought into Dover by border force and the rnli after shutting off their motor in the middle of the channel, then residing in a nice hotel room for free 24 hours later are currently in direct threat of persecution?
