“But tires”

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity’s existance… which should we choose?

    Cars don’t typically produce carbon monoxide. It’s special circumstances caused by the garage that caused the carbon monoxide

      Isn’t the main purpose of the catalytic converter to minimize the CO (and other chemicals) being exhausted? Those illegal to take off vehicles things on every car…

      It is supposed to be CO2 and water though that comes out of it… but it doesn’t work out so clean as the air going in isn’t just oxygen

        That is what they’re supposed to do.
        But you’re talking about an operating environment way outside of what they were designed for.

        ICE cars suck.
        But cars aren’t driving around the road and spewing out CO in such concentration that’d they’d give someone CO poisoning.

        Pick a different example about why ICE cars clearly suck.

          The CO becomes CO2 in the atmosphere as well eventually. I understand what you mean, which is why I was going to originally delete the post, but some people said leave it, so I did. Really it is just saying if exhaust is so obviously known to be bad in one situation, why is it so hard to understand that it can be bad in other ways. (Trapping in heat really)

            I kinda get what you mean, in that sense. “It’s bad here so why can’t you believe it’s bad there?”

            But the dangers they pose are so different in nature that it’s inviting criticism; lots of things are dangerous in specific circumstances but fine normally.

            Anyways, you’re taking the criticism better than I’m able to lol

              It was a drunken post on New Year’s Eve… If I know anything in life it’s that alcohol does not make sound choices lol. I suppose I’m just glad I didn’t text an ex. Motivation not to drink as much haha
