"Reduced car commuting is linked to residential environment, health status and health behaviors"
#Cars #Vehicles #Environment

Reduced car commuting is linked to residential environment, health status and health behaviors
A recently published Finnish study shows that residential environments, health status and health behaviors are associated with reduced car commuting. However, these factors explained only a small proportion of the overall modal shift toward active and sustainable commuting over a two-year follow-up.

So my car has a computer that knows if I will fail inspection but has no UI to show me? That sucks.

Here's a radical transport idea...
For every two lane road, turn one lane into a segregated two lane cycle route, and make the other one a contraflow motor vehicle lane.
Watch many car drivers switch to cycling, and RTAs drop. Short distance travel times will be reduced for many.
And I say all this as both a car driver and a cycle rider.

What do carbrains and AI lovers have in common? They love to skew the data.
"Oh, cars are cheap. Just take fuel prices, fuel consumption… and if it comes too high, you can always divide by 5 people in a car! What, car purchase and maintenance?! But everyone needs to have a car!"
"Oh, #AI is cheap. A single query uses so little water and energy. What, training?! But everyone needs to train LLMs!"

Study: There is less room to store carbon dioxide, driver of climate change, than previously thought
The world has far fewer places to securely store carbon dioxide deep underground than previously thought, steeply lowering its potential to help stem global warming, according to a new study that challenges long-held industry claims about the practice.

I was walking for over an hour on rural roads of asphalt before I saw the first car. And now I wonder: where are all these homegrown economy experts, always ready to criticize any investment in public transport, for "nobody will use it". Well, I have a whole *grid* of roads that clearly aren't used by anybody.

Most coral reefs in the Caribbean could stop growing, and even start eroding away, by 2040 if global warming continues unchecked, a new study finds.  Coral reefs, especially those near shores, protect valuable coastlines from flooding during cyclones and storm surges by breaking up wave energy. For the reefs to continue to act as natural […]

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.
It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).
People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.
It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out
“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”
