The climate impact of the richest 1%, globally, is the same as that of the poorest two-thirds of humanity.
We have to invest now in using finite fossil fuels to cut use of them in the medium to long term, as we rapidly use up our reserves of oil and gas.
Yet, our wealthy society still wants more public transport modes to cut congestion, air pollution and Climate problems - 7 different rail modes, alone plus regular buses and high expense Sprint buses!
Just get the regular trains, not trams, on our existing but unused railway lines, with FFPT for all, not just my old crocks age group.
FFPT = Fare-Free Public Transport
Net Zero = using Nature thickened up and extended to absorb CO2 = Climate Calming.
"Climate breakdown is affecting us already UK temperatures reached a 40C record in 2022, and our homes and workplaces are badly equipped to deal with heatwaves, contributing to excess deaths. In the UK, and around the world, farmers' crop yields have been hit by drought and floods, driving up food prices. Firefighters are having to battle both wildfires and floods"
