    People can hate cars AND help humans in need, even car users.

    Flooding wouldn’t be so bad without global car dependency.

    I’m sorry for all the losses the people have to endure, but after this is over, there needs to be a discussion how to prevent disaster like these or minimise their impact on human and general environment.

        The financial, spatial and carbon economy of motorised private transport is inefficient, including its infrastructure. Opportunity costs of missing climate action due to economical reliance on private transport, spatial constraints of land use for traffic and inefficient housing (private transport induced sprawl) are just two examples for that.

        Climate change fuels flooding frequency and severity, so fueling climate change with fossil fuelled private transport is irresponsible.
