When it comes to the overall problem of climate change cars are only one issue, the others being manufacturing, construction, services, agriculture, travel, etc. Many of these don't have a clean solution yet for the current demand so fossil fuels are here to stay unless we manage to reduce that demand, which the individual consumer needs to accept.

>unless we manage to reduce that demand, which the individual consumer needs to accept.

My point was no one needs to accept that as long as cars are around.

I don't think cars are responsible for waste in agriculture or air travel, but ok.

That is true, I guess if people did not have personal cars, then that consumption could be replaced by air travel and/or more food that travels further (even more than the current amounts).
