Since many more people would be taking public transit and most of these countries have diesel and gasoline buses, the true number would probably be 20% decrease. That would have a dent, that might even delay the catastrophic climate change by 4 or 5 years. Is that the action they are calling for? How realistic is that? Or are they calling for the phasing out of private automobiles so that those who have recently purchased will not be crushed by this law. Assuming the longest loan is 7 years perhaps phase this in over the next 10 years. Again, this would make even less of a dent.

Imagine how many mechanics, gasoline stations and auto dealers would become unemployed as a result of this action. It is absurd to even think anyone would consider it. Yet, it is not even close to enough to make a real difference.
All those who "demand action" should stop using any fossil fuels, including cars, public transportation, planes, home heating, jobs, etc.

Be faithful to your religious cause and go live off the grid! Leave now!
