I think that’s not true. I think most people agree (or at least don’t strongly disagree) with all this stuff. In the UK (where Mr Monbiot is writing) a large majority want the railways renationalised and improved and extended. They support improving public transport at the expense of private transport.
The minority who oppose it include powerful vested interests. So the majority of public discourse opposes it. So there’s an illusion that it’s unpopular.
that was a good read. But when the discussions start, all we’re left is pointing fingers in the other direction.
Automobil points to Aviation, Aviation points to cruise ships. Government points manufacturers, manufacturers point to consumer demands. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ
As always people are left with the consequence and very small percentage care enough to make changes to their lifestyle to help the environment.
