Lots of low- and no-cost ways to halt global warming

We should fuel our cities with the power of friendship!

Curious to hear what Japan is doing?

Global trade and shipping pump many times the pollution as automobiles.

Encourage local self sufficiency to eliminate the largest elephant in the global warming room.

A great way would be for all those celebrities to give up their private jets for a start

And for Governments to mandate in law the changes needed like self sufficient homes and buildings for solar and wind generation of power. For stopping the sale of new vehicles using gasoline and diesel within 12-24 months, and second hand in 5 years.

This needs to be treated with an appropriate level of urgency. Twenty years is 17 years too late.

Treat it with the same urgency as the war in Ukraine and the start of covid. Action is needed immediately not some point down the road, we will just make plans we expect others to do the work in the future at some point.

Start with your own neighborhoods, eco warriors.

My opinion and shared thought:

If people, govt's, etc. were as thoughtful as I've been RE.: automobiles & the environment then countries- nah the entire world- would have adopted Japanese Kei cars as a standard since the 1990s. My ideas are laughed at by people around me- probably because we all know it's a "dream"- but I've been holding this opinion ever since I read the first EK9 Civic Hyper Rev before the 2000s (New Millenium).

No engine would exceed 4 cylinders- even Formula 1 cars- and if you a need for performance you'd buy the 4 cylinder turbo engine. Displacement for engines are limited to 2000cc. Most cars in existence would use 2 or 3 cylinder engines, motorcycle engines (w/ catalytic converters), and with the evolution of hybrid technology- had it been created in this alternate version of the world- solar cells would power in vehicle electronics (dome lights, gauge lights, door lights, etc.-- not the stereo).

Ferrari & the like would only be allowed to use a maximum engine displacement up to 2800cc & 5 cylinders since they are able to claim historical exemptions (if I remember correctly).

All homes by 2005 would have already had built in solar power- the governments already paid for legislation and implementation via tax witholdings everybody pitched into. We all paid a fair share for "Save the Planet" tax everytime we got paid & the world will likely have already avoided its current "Climate Crisis".

I'm not a 100% supporter of "Climate Change" policies- I like backfiring race cars & fighter jets and I still think the solar powered race cars in the 90s were a joke. But if I already thought of and was willing to make these changes over 20 years ago--

What the hell were you all doing & thinking?

Water vehicles is the answer but MiddleEast are too rich to stop all developed countries.
