Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.
I suggest fixing what you can to stave off an even worse climate catastrophe. It’s that or go extinct. I am sure the USAians will make the sensible choice.
