What has the destruction of our railways and the rebuilding of the tram network on closed lines not yet obliterated, got to do with climate?
- Everything we do impacts climate because we are so thoroughly addicted, so totally hooked on finite fossil fuels (but slowly getting better with renewables).
- If we can't even run a sensible, unsustainable society, there is no hope for reaching a more socially just, sensible and sustainable one.
- Destroying transport infrastructure creates extra GHG emissions from all the energy used.
- Destroying the Great Central Railway may have contributed to HS2 that destroys nature for no good reason and uses up precious resources. Precious resources like finite fossil fuels that are burnt in enormous quantities to build the thing to emit even more GHG!
- Metro is very high in GHG because of so much concrete and steel in the construction of the trams and lines.
- Climate activism means standing up against wrongdoing, idiocy and making public transport more off-putting by introducing yet more modes that mean more changes between them to get anywhere by shared/public transport.
- The more we spend, the more GHG emissions and the more climate instability - but more renewables will help.
