Why tech companies are wrong to think electric cars are a solution to climate change
To fight climate change, carmakers want to sell us ever more technological and ecological vehicles. For Paris Marx, this approach is wrong.

Nice to meet you Paris Marx, my name is Moscow Voltaire.
Jokes aside, I agree that in metropolitan areas, we need more efficient and reliable, eco-friendly transportation

There are innumerable issues with this way of thinking but chief among them being that it requires a heavy handed government to force your ideals because people have free choice and their individual choices will lead to different outcomes. Same with public transport…a LOT of people choose to drive a car for convenience, privacy, lack of drunk/ahole/loud/smelly people crowding your transport, etc. But this expectation that political will and government interference will lead us to the promised land is beyond naive. Do you not have public transport where you live? Its often late, overcrowded, breaks down, doesn't run 24/7, and is unsafe in many areas. Also the govt already regulates taxi services…how did that work out for "equity"? Medallions in NY cost more than houses. Nothing will ever be equitable through govt rule. There are like a million examples of this across the world so please stop asking for govt to get involved.

Rentable cars so we use less of it, better public transport with officers inside to contain bad behavior

Author haven't dealt with public transport.15 minute car ride or would take 1 hour 45 minutes public transport to complete my one way journey to work.cycling around doesn't solve global warming Pakistan have less cars in cities compare to European cities more people only have access to cycle but look the emission and pollution in Pakistan cities compare to European cities.

Busses and mass transit are not the solution. Urban huddling is not a solution. They are stifling and produce urban heat zones. I think these urban zones of concentrated heat cause climate extremes just like hot forest fires can produce fire tornadoes.
EVs are bad for environment and people, especially the poor who mine the lithium. Rivers are gone where these mines are. Poor children mine at these places.

These 'solutions' have been tried, and have resulted in less productivity and more homelessness. The distance a person can realistically travel on a bicycle or in public transit, is far smaller than what is needed (unless everyone is housed like cattle next to a few factories and offices).
In the REAL world, with people being free individuals living where they can afford to live, they often have to drive farther to their job. This is not a bad thing, per se, because it allows an economy to grow and support people better. Limiting where people can live or work, has led to less people working and more expensive housing. The only way you can afford to live, is to work a non-job from home that pays six figures, and not have to drive anywhere.
That doesn't exist.

Hi, you produce a lot of great content but the algorithm buries it because your Channel uploads way too much videos that range from hour long live streams to 30 seconds news reports. Have you considered splitting your content into a channel for every topic or programme? This would increase the click through rate and average watch time and promote your content to more people.
