Greenpeace anti-VW protest

Yes. In the 70s, the slogan was that smaller cars would resolve congestion and reduce pollution, which was all complete hogwash. People bought more cars per household and every single problem except for traffic casualties got worse. 'Low emission' vehicles will only lead to more market penetration for closed private carriages and increase hypermobility.

So, your policy is that people should simply stay at home?

I think that would play well with quite large sections of society.

Explain?

Assuming you were replying to Oliver's post.
Your response to it is just silly; even if it wasn't Oliver, who you well know does not put forward simple or easy answers to any problem, you are inferring something which no one else would infer. And when it comes to discussing cars you are always like this; simultaneously defensive and aggressively dismissive, misrepresenting other people's views and tilting at the windmill of anti-car sentiment that I think you alone can see.
It's just weird to see someone who is so intelligent and articulate respond like this whenever this subject pops up.
