Among the things I will never understand: why this hasn’t been part of ordinary political discourse since 2018, even among non-GOP folks.
“At 3-4C, ‘the economy and society will cease to function as we know it’, scientists said last week, but a hothouse Earth would be even more fiery.”

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say

‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Having spent most of my working life in transport policy, this is the essential truth that so many people - including politicians with responsibility for transport decisions - don’t or won’t get.
To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
To reduce congestion, you reduce capacity and reduce speed. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
If you widen that highway
you won’t reduce emissions
or congestion.
What you WILL do
is spend a lot of public money
to induce even more cars
emitting even more GHGs and pollution
in the same or worse congestion
with people still demanding that you widen the highway.
Period.

FYI the Armoury is still standing! No visible signs of damage from this angle. Still lots of emergency vehicles, and the traffic is even worse than it usually is around here this time of day
