A few cars on the road isn't going to make a significant difference. The problem is the massive factories and industry churning out more greenhouse gases than we ever could with our measly automobiles.
Individually, not a significant difference, but when we're talking about the potential for millions of cyclists to avoid riding, the impact would be felt.
But yeah, large factories also need to calm the hell down if we are to stand any chance of surviving the next 50 years of climate change.
Take a couple cargo ships of the seas, that would offset a lot of cars.
Did you know its illegal to say that one strong hit with a 20ft speedboat at full throttle into the hull of a cargo ship in the section the two sheets of metal are welded on the broadside of the ship where the rivets are the weakest would take the ship down for repairs for months if not sinking it outright?
Totally, recklessly wildly illegal.
Now, it was okay for me to say it now because I was warning you not to say it. I wasn't saying it myself.
What IS legal to say is that we have a group that meets under the Brooklyn bridge 23:00 on Sundays and the password is sic semper tyrannis.
Its not a fitting sentence because it has nothing to do with the previous statement, but it is technically legal!
What fucking boat is riveted these days? And what the fuck are you on about?
