"Those that #advocate for #population #reductions never mean #themselves, it's always the ones that have huge #economic and #ecological #impacts, that think some #poor #person who is #starving with #nothing on the other side of the #world should take #responsibility."

the rate of carbon dioxide reduction from new vehicles has all but stalled, while vehicle #mass and #power have reached all-time highs.
Why? The surging popularity of low-fuel-economy pickups and SUVs. My analysis of the EPA data shows that through 2021, the #higheremissions from market shifts to larger, more powerful #vehicles swamp the potential #carbondioxide #reductions from EVs by more than a factor of three.
