The two-day shutdown comes at a time of record-breaking extreme heat across the globe, with July poised to be the hottest month in history.

Good point, I’ll just commute 2 hours both ways by bike then. Thanks for your contribution. /s
Yes, thank you for doing your part. Stick to bike paths when available. As another user pointed out, cars also contribute to local air pollution with brake dust and microplastics from the four big tires.
/s means sarcasm. I’m not going to abandon my life by commuting 4 hours a day. And I don’t have any money to buy a new car
You are killing our shared future! Small sacrifices today are an investment in a greener tomorrow.
This guy . . .
The sacrifice you demand is not small.
Compared to the annihilation of our environment? Hello! It’s reaching 55 degrees quite regularly if you’ve failed to notice!
The sacrifice you demand is life-ending. From the perspective of the person you demand it of, it is not better than the alternative.
It also is not a solution. Even if cars stopped being a thing across the world right now, it would only slow global warming down a little, not stop it.
Billions of people live without their own car. Transportation is an unfair advantage to get ahead and it costs the rest of us profoundly.
