Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

    It’s a good fact, but I don’t think we’ll get there

    we will get there,either voluntarily or need to after civilisations collapse from climate change.

    There is NO solution to climate change that doesn’t involve a > 80% reduction in car use (and banning flying) Even the IPCC has said e-cars aren’t an answer (they embed urban sprawl).

    There’s a persistent myth that we can’t inconvenience anyone, which is patently nonsense as the destruction of civilisation from climate change is way more than inconvenient
