There are places where this is just not possible. I live in very hot climate and people would be dying all the time due to heat exhaustion and dehydration if this was the case.

You say that as if cities in hot climates didn't exist before cars.

You're totally right. The world hasn't been getting hotter due to climate change and people didn't use horses. How could I forget.

I point out that a hot climate isn't an excuse for driving instead of walking or biking and your bullshit takeaway is to insinuate that I'm some kind of climate change denier? Fuck all the way off with that!

Congratulations, that nonsense you've written is the most bad-faith reach I've read in a while.

Your comment is hogshit. It's just comparing apples to oranges. It's meaningless and unhelpful. You're trying to suggest that something worked before so we should continue to do it. Should we not take vaccines next because that worked before? Should we not use soap too because they didn't have that back then? Should we go back to riding horses? Should we all live in huts and mud walls? Should we not use electricity anymore as well? Humans have done this in the past so it will totally work in modern society, right? See I can say stupid shit too.

Your comment is hogshit.

Pure projection.

You’re trying to suggest that something worked before so we should continue to do it.

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Besides, it's not just that. What I'm actually suggesting is that we've thoroughly tried the alternative, and it has proven to be a failure. Never mind screwing ourselves over with climate change; we're also going to simply bankrupt ourselves if we keep building sprawl.

Should we not take vaccines next because that worked before? Should we not use soap too because they didn’t have that back then? Should we go back to riding horses? Should we all live in huts and mud walls? Should we not use electricity anymore as well?

Oh, fuck off back to Reddit -- you're trolling in bad faith and you know it. Not only that, but what you wrote isn't even accurate in any sense because that shit didn't "work before!"
