Ride a bike to help fight climate change... but worsening climate change will cause fewer people to ride bikes. (lemmy.ca)

It was a shower thought for me this morning, after having seen all these record temperatures being broken around the world.

But, if it gets too hot to cycle, then people won't. And if they aren't cycling, they may start driving again, which compounds climate change even further.

Does this worry anyone else?

Reminder that the idea of carbon footprint was marketed by big oil to displace blame off themselves to the consumer, who barely has a carbon footprint in comparison.
