I dont have a benefit of the doubt big enough to give to people for driving these big ass SUV’s. they aint aliens living on another planet from the other countries of the world with citizens that do fine without SUV’s, they can manage.
You either lack the creativity to come up with scenarios, or the empathy to understand people have different struggles than you.
Imagine you’re a mom with five young kids living 20 miles from the nearest store. That’s a real use case in America. How would you handle that without a vehicle that can seat 6 and carry their groceries as well? What’s your answer besides an SUV?
Yeah living in rural mississippi i know folks like that. They dont wanna bring 5 kids to the store, thats a nightmare. Generally a spouse or oldest kid is watching the kids, or youre goin while theyre at school. Going to work is the bigger issue.
How about, dont have 5 kids, dont live 20 miles from the nearest store, all of these were also personal choices. How about the large majority of people dont have 5 kids and live 20 miles from a store?

Okay, it’s as I thought. Your solution to not needing an SUV is to need a fuckin time machine. That’s not exactly the workable solution for climate change that we’re hoping for.
that gross overkill, the tons of steel and dozens of gallons of gasoline you’re spewing co2 to lug around every single day to travel 20 miles is where our emissions come from. Because once every several months you might want to travel somewhere further and you dont want to have to wait around a half hour to charge
Im just not oblivious to whats going on. The US is the second largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, and with more than double the contribution per capita of the number one spot. Transportation is the highest emitting sector in the US, and personal vehicles make up the largest chunk of those emissions. The US has also had a staggering upward trend of SUV and pickup sales making up the bulk of those emissions.
You’ve got a flagrant disregard for the consequences of your horrible choices.

Wrong again… 10 years worth of pollution due to your scenario, doesn’t add up to a single Kardashian short jetting to avoid traffic
Oh thanks! Here I thought I knew myself, but thanks to you I now know myself even better!
track your miles tomorrow
Me personally? I own a Nissan leaf. I just don’t have a presumption to know everyone else’s lives.

Today is going to be the past of 20 years from now. Starting today to solve this problem, in 20 years no one needs an SUV.
Instead, in 20 years things just get worse.
Ah yes, a single day’s travel is the best way to figure out what kind of range someone needs.

Do you just avoid ever leaving your house just to feel self righteous?

And yet personal vehicles make up a much larger portion of the countries emissions than all of aviation.
