Too big, too heavy and too slow to change: road transport is way off track for net zero (theconversation.com)

Our study used the Australian Fleet Model and the net zero vehicle emission model.

One neglected issue is the growing proportion of big, heavy passenger vehicles.

Reducing vehicle weights and optimising energy efficiency in transport will be essential to meet emission targets.

Our study suggests Australia is on track to miss the net-zero target for 2050 mainly because of the large proportions of fossil-fuelled vehicles and large and heavy passenger vehicles.

As in a privacy concern for you or the fact that they are still using something you can't click on now? It will be interesting to see if they just add straight links to referenced articles from some point in the future.

Do you think they should go to Mastodon?

I look at those embeds as ads and skim past them. I can do longer summaries if that would interest you? They ruin the ability to learn more on a subject in their current state...

It's alright, it only distracts from the article a little bit. I've just been enjoying too many memes about goodbye to articles that are just tweets.
