Um 9 Mio. t verfehlt der Verkehrssektor 2022 seine Klimaziele. Ein Tempolimit von 120km/h spart 6,7 Mio. t ein. Dies würde die Lücke um 77,4% schließen und dennoch verweigert sich @Wissing, obwohl er gesetzlich zum Klimaschutz verpflichtet ist. Das ist ein unglaublicher Skandal!

In the 1970s, Dutch cities like Amsterdam were full of traffic and air pollution. Now they are models of sustainable urban planning. Here's the story of how the Netherlands started building their cities for humans, not cars. 🧵

#Kiezblock deluxe 🇫🇷 Paris öffnet ab 2024 das Zentrum für Menschen. Der Durchgangsverkehr fliegt raus, gleichzeitig werden 60.000 Parkplätze abgeschafft und Platz für Rad- und Fußverkehr & Grundflächen geschaffen. Europas Metropolen gehen voran! Wann folgen deutsche Städte?

The automobile is a magnificent tool and a vast improvement over the urban horse esp from the POV of the horse. The problem is transportation policy which set automobile storage and throughput above housing and safety for poeple. Cars are good servants. They are terrible masters.

With governments cracking down on & criminalising #climate protests aimed at disrupting motorways, we can soon expect to see traffic, ahem, flowing freely

The city of the future isn't about taller buildings, wider highways, & monumental architectural statements. The city of the future is more like the city of the past. It's highly walkable, interconnected, community focused, & sustainable. Most importantly, it puts people first!

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

As a Dutchman coming to live in Toronto, I was told you can only cycle half the year. Struck me as odd since I also heard that Canadians wear shorts until it is -10ºC. Now I know. It is not so much the weather. It is that they mostly only clean roads for cars, not for bicycles.

So lässt es sich sogar in der #Stadt wohnen
Eine Seitenstraße in Amsterdam bei Dunkelheit. Schicke Häuser mit viel Grün davor. Eine gepflasterte, schmale Straße mit vielen geparkten Fahrrädern.

The countries with high fertility rates – those with high numbers of births per woman – have very low CO₂ emissions per person. Population could increase by billions in these countries and changes in global emissions would be small.

The hard fact is that human numbers matter – and the impact of 2-3 billion more of us will be immense, says John Vidal

The #bicycle as we know it today, with two similarly sized wheels and a chain drive system, was originally commercialized by John Starley and William Sutton in 1885. And since then, nothing better has been invented in terms of #energy efficient travel.

I’m not going to be posting about my bike commute much this winter because… I don’t have one! Also, by nature of an emergency c-section after an ultrasound, I did, in fact, end up biking to give birth. Which, according to @CanadaRobin, means I win at bike twitter.

one weird thing about interdisciplinary climate change research is that the social scientists all have to gain a rudimentary understanding of the physical stuff but the climate people basically just repeat economists' lies about people and society.
