Load of garbage

 

Fossel fueled power plants, coal fired power plants, trucks, planes, rockets etc etc etc

 

Cars and other passenger vehicles were responsible for 27 percent of New Zealand's gross carbon dioxide emissions in 2018

 

Cars and vans account for around 10 percent of global CO₂ emissions

 

Ours is likely higher % wise as we have such a green power grid

 

 

I find it heartwarming that there are people here willing to devote time and attention to scrutinising my posts for perceived errors. It is reassuring to know that my opinions carry such weight. 

 

I am also glad to know New Zealand is a shining example for the rest of the world when it comes to motorcar pollution. That would have been useful when I lived in Los Angeles in the 1960s, and I couldn’t see the other side of the street from the smog, and my eyes wouldn’t stop streaming.

 

Whether 100% or 10%, cars pollute. It is one of the prices people seem willing to pay for them. They don’t just pollute directly either. Everything that goes into the manufacture of them contributes, as does all the infrastructure and associated technology they require. There are better alternatives in most cases.

 

 

 

You say that like bikes dont also pollute when being manufactured....
