Found it on Mastodon, I don’t know if it’s the original source. The XKCD does have a good point, of course. But I mean, if we’d all think like that, no good standards would ever develop, so people shouln’t cite it as a fundamental truth everywhere and avoid all meaningful discussion.

I know, I just meant that I cannot find any source for this specific image, which means it’s probably AI-generated.

edit: And no, by the way, the depiction isn’t completely accurate because the balls are missing. Here is an accurate depiction:

No idea, I found it on Mastodon and TinEye can’t trace it so probably.

I really do not think so. Oil propaganda would support cars rather than be against it. I’m quite sure this is directed at the people who think EVs are a full solution.

Why, then, does the picture with all the problems depict a gas car, and why is “tailpipe emissions” listed as one of the problems?

Also, usually corporate propaganda is done by less well-established cartoonists that don’t have reputations to ruin.

Where I live it’s common to spread gravel on the snow to increase grip. And then, of course, it is expected that everyone has the appropriate shoes and bike tires to not slip.

And even when salt is used, cars need a lot more salt per person than other modes of transport does.

edit: clarification

I think we live in very different parts of the world. Where I’m from, it is quite self-evident that we have to transition to EVs, and most people in fact already do. However a lot of people seem to forget that EVs only solve part of the problem and that we have to think further, so from my perspective this comic can basically only be used for good.

But I do get that this could be used by reactionaries to push back against clean energy in places where such sentiments are common. However, I don’t think that’s a particularly big problem on the Fediverse.

There was plenty for everyone since there were a lot fewer people, plus there were no real territories that people claimed over longer periods at all since we were nomads.
