Love how everyone just assumes they dont have any impact on climate change, some smoke factory somewhere else must be to blame.

That’s just one city though. I’m sure it’s different for cities with a lot of manufacturing or whatnot.

Exactly - also, cars are a symptom of a lack of urban planning but with remote work on the rise, car emissions will fall. I am hopeful that more communities will rise as a result as people live and work in the same place and get personal time back to invest in their surroundings

All cities have a lot of manufacturing. Its a city

For the entire US, personal vehicles are the largest source of emissions.

Not true.

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions

Transportation, including commercial, is 28%. Electricity 25% and industry 23%.

Cars, trucks, etc account for only half of that 28%.

So even if we lump in commercial transportation with personal vehicles, it's still only 14% of ghg emissions or roughly half that of electricity generation.

Support renewable energy.
