“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to.

France's rural areas have seen the number of its cafés drop in the last few decades. The lower house of Parliament passed a bill that would make it easier for café owners to be granted a permit to sell alcohol.

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders — far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.
Evening rush hour in Utrecht.
Much more efficient than if everyone were in a car, without the constant noise and air pollution and without grinding the complete city center to a halt.
Now who wouldn't wanna commute like this?!
