Saying it isnt worth up to a 25% reduction is a stupid argument in general.

Lets also not forget about all the money and resources spent on cars and their infrastructure.

Up to a 25% reduction in emissions at minimum is enough to be worthy of action.

Read more carefully. They didn't say 25% of all emissions.

Thank you. The reading comprehension on this thread has been worrying...

That's not what I said, it isn't 25% of all emissions, and I didn't say it wasn't worth it. I pointed out that the deaths from lack of cars without a plan would outweigh the lives saved by removing cars.

It absolutely is worth finding a way to remove cars in their current form. There are also far more effective things we can do, like eat less meat.
