Ebikes and mopeds, known as electric micromobility, were responsible for two-thirds of the 1.5m barrels of oil displaced a day by EVs in 2022

    How about going after the 57 companies responsible for 80% of emissions since 2016?

      Apparently our governments are too corrupt and/or ineffectual to take any genuinely meaningful action there.

      You could stop directly finding funding the oil companies on that list by using an ebike instead of a car.

        Pretty sure the oil companies can always be found on that list. It’s what they do, by definition or they wouldn’t be oil companies.

          You wouldn’t find oil companies on the list if we stopped using oil…

      These companies make and sell the things you buy. Pretending it’s nothing to do with consumers is so disingenuous

        Like tabacco and asbestos?

          Yes, a lot of people buy tobacco and so have a role in that industry’s harmful practices. And no, nobody buys asbestos.

            Are you being obtuse for any particular reason?

            The reason nobody buys asbestos is because it’s regulated by government, as is tobacco and while we’re at it, most of the rest of society…

            Regulating the 57 companies responsible for 80% of emissions since 2016 is a way to effect change at a significantly faster rate than any other option.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
