Electric cars just move the power generation elsewhere - often a gas- or coal- powered plant. Yes, large power plants can have better treatment of waste gases, for lower particulates and sulphur dioxides. Still produce the CO2, tho. We need robust public transport options, low-carbon power sources like renewables and nuclear, and reduce the number of unnecessary journeys by shopping locally, car sharing, and working from home wherever possible.
Completely agree - let’s stop BBQ’ing the planet. Just need to make lots of little changes, but we need to start.
I’m with the electric option. We need to stop barbecueing our climate anyway.

Yeah, I’m aboard for all those things too. Especially trains and remote work :D
