Because mandate giving authority doesn’t care about climate change. That’s pretty obvious explanation

Hey now, the morons somehow managed to remain organized enough to choose these authorities. And now we’ll all burn together.

Don’t let your fellow citizen off the hook.

Yep, crime is always orginized and your fellow citizen, especially during the good times, aren't

data to support this claim? you are (incorrectly) assuming that since employees are not commuting to work they are just home and cars are just collecting dust in a garage… but of course you go to the store and mall and park and … in the middle of the day and you see a whole other story :)

One off excursions are totally different than a 5 day back and forth. I don't have data but one can guess.

there are many positives of WFH but climate change is not one of them

I have data for myself. My annual driving dropped from roughly 9,000 miles to 5,000 miles when I switched to WFH. In addition to avoiding the daily back and forth, I’d often make a detour on my evening commute to get groceries for the next couple of days. Now I plan things out better and make fewer shopping trips, as well.

I wonder if I could negotiate cheaper car insurance rates. I’m driving far less and on safer streets, rarely getting on a major highway.

lets say you are good representative of a general population… how much of a climate change “dent” do you think we made?

I was simply providing a single data point. Please feel free to use that to support your theory or ignore it.

you don’t write policies based on guesses…

We have data from COVID when most people were working from home.

COVID is an outlier mate… it wasn’t just that most people were working from home, it was that everything stopped. if that was sustainable long-term that we are all on lockdown globally sure - we’d get traction in climate change and fast. unfortunately though…

Yeah, during the initial lockdown period everything stopped but afterwards things resumed a bit more normally as businesses opened, etc., while a large number of people were still working from home.
