A fantastic review of LIFE AFTER CARS Via @newrepublic.com
"The authors marshal a compelling blend of history, statistics, and anecdote in support of a quietly radical argument: that mass car ownership, far from natural and inevitable, is a historical blip that can and should be reversed."

If you're one of those who's swallowed the lie that "plants and trees are having a party with all the increased CO2 in the atmosphere and flourishing, it's all good", please read this.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive
The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years
Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago
