Passenger cars are not the culprits but we are solely targeting them when they produce less than 5% of the global pollution that's choking the planet.
They are producing 41% of all transportation (plains/boats/rail included) in 2020 … so if we follow that logic we should not do anything related to transportation, as that would have an impact of less than 15%, if so, why do we even bother?

EDIT: one article mentions 1/5 so 20% comes from transportation, so personal cars seem to have an 8% contribution … why would we even bother, it’s not like EV’s have zero emissions, so this whole exercise is to save like 4% at best.
