I'm impressed at the idiotic opposition's ability to reframe everything as a referendum on global warming instead of as a basic infrastructure bill that everyone could probably agree on.

No. You get fat. You lose energy. You get sick easier. Your organs are challenged. Generally you will start to suck in a multitude of ways.

Too much of one thing always manifests itself as a multitude of problems. When I ride a 800ft climb as hard as I can the system failure is holistic - my legs hurt, my heart rate goes through the roof, my respiration rate maxes, I make bad decisions while my oxygen is low, my riding line waivers, I'm wiped out when I get home, and the next day I'm sore.

Too much reliance on the private car for transportation leads to a multitude of failures: traffic, asthma, use of public space almost exclusively for transportation, pedestrian fatalities, cyclist fatalities, motorist fatalities, no affordable alternatives etc etc etc.

If everyone would simply get with the program, and get a decent car (I'm looking at you, poor people), we'd have this traffic problem nipped in the bud.
