How to end the American obsession with driving

Vox's reporting has been surprisingly good lately. I don't know if it was worse before or if I only just started paying attention.

For example, here was another really informative video on the housing situation in the US.

..begins with an unscientific sentence:

"This summer’s series of extreme wildfires, hurricanes, and tropical storms have made it more apparent than ever that the effects of climate change are here."

That will be news to quite a few scientists and national governments[1][2][3][4]!

You should publish your research. How do you know enough about weather, climate, and planetary science to confidently contradict thousands of other scientists, if you don't mind my asking?

Vox gave receipts for their claim, btw[5]. Looking forward to seeing your sources that were not funded by energy companies or conservative political groups.
