    Thousands die each year from pollution. Drivers of combustion cars should be declared murderers.

      Statements like this really don’t help your cause. You know that right? Change happens gradually. We took too long to get there but to call the vast majority of some countries citizens murders is just…

        How else do you call people who are actively involved in killing thousands on a regular basis? Mother Theresa saints?

          You do realize there are tons of people who are literally forced to drive old gas cars because its all they can afford, and there is no public transportation right? Calling them murderers for trying to feed themselves is just disingenuous.

            No one is forcing anyone in London. The public transport is amazing and those who can afford any car are NOT poor at all. The poor are using buses.

                In a car? That’s a very dumb idea. Even if you can’t get by train for some reason, you’ll most likely leave your car in a giant parking lot in a nearby town and then catch a train. Have you ever tried driving in London? You’ll walk faster!

      Thousands die each year from pollution.

      People who use devices with rare earth metals should be declared murderers.

      People who use electricity should be declared murderers.

      Will you look at that Aux, you are a murderer!

          It is your logic…

          I hope you’ll grow up someday…

          I hope you realise this does not win your argument.
