Another aspect of motonormativity is how car crashes are used in fiction as a deus ex machina way to get rid of characters without explanation. Everyone from the writer to the viewer understands that being killed by a car is just something that happens from time to time, outside anyone's control

Nye målinger viser, at revnerne i Grønlands indlandsis er blevet markant flere i de seneste år. Særligt i det sydøstlige Grønland er antallet og størrelsen af revner steget med over 25% mellem 2016 & 2021. Det øger opvarmningen & afsmeltningen, hvilket er selvforstærkende vejr.tv2.dk/2025-02-18-i...

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

Interesting results from a French survey on climate policy support: most policies (even costly ones) are supported by a majority (often substantially). ➡️ The climate backlash is likely driven by populist leaders (and those reproducing their narratives) more so than by people's anti-green attitudes

Open Access UCL Research: Policy measures to reduce road congestion: what worked? discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...

submitted 38 days ago • 0 comments

tl;dr: Restrictions to vehicle ownership tend to reduce congestion. Measures to reduce road use demand are more effective when combined with measures to improve public transport. (Policy measures to reduce road congestion: What worked? - ScienceDirect) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Once you recognize that widening roads always leads to more congestion, the case for (de)congestion pricing + transit investment is obvious. But if you need a study, here's a study: ssti.us/2025/02/03/c...

The latest Copernicus data confirms that Jan. 2025 was officially the warmest Jan. on record globally, with temps 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels. This was the 18th month out of the last 19 where global temps exceeded 1.5°C. Even the the cooling La Niña conditions couldn't slow this trend.

Congestion pricing seems to have triggered a surge in Manhattan pedestrian activity: “Nearly 36M people last month were in areas south of 60th Street in Manhattan, a 4.6% boost from January 2024.” (The increase was 1.6% outside the zone.) Suggests retail sales are growing within the zone, too.

“Hypernormalisation” is a real danger, and we can’t let it happen. If we accept false realities as normal, we lose the ability to see the truth and challenge what’s wrong. It’s important to stay aware and push back before it’s too late.

Leadership is about doing what's right even if it’s not politically easy. That's why I led the fight to make congestion pricing a reality—better buses & subways, less noise & traffic, and cleaner air.
