Also words matter, so you should be using the original term ‘Global Warming’ THE CAUSE over ‘Climate Change’ THE EFFECT! I hate that The PoliticalRight was able manipulate everyone into this BS!

“And what of emigration, fuck people if they want to move to another country ? I see lots of US aged pensioners moving to places like Cambodia, should they be barred ?”

I am keeping it simpler, by talking about The USA, but I would like see it applied to every single country in the world. Let those BLANKING people suffer! You also forgotten about the other elements of the process, for lack of a better word. Giving the people, not the politicians (thanks to The USA, most are just dictatorships or Royal Families), 100s of Billions of their own dollars, means that the reason those emigration/emigrating to poor countries to take advantage of those countries to live like kings & queens (like so many English language old people shows, my parents watch too many of them) would be wiped-out, maybe, take some time, but would happen.

“Anyhow, longer term, none of that matters, ignoring climate change as we have will see the collapse of civilisation anyway. No matter how many billions they spend on flood defences, NYC is lost sometime this century.“

I live in Florida & they are saying for sure that Fl. is going to be just super thin strip of land, in dead center & from around Orlando to GA. boarder. Wait man, we all cannot just surrender! While, I do not think The Livable Earth & All Living Beings will survive, but we all cannot just surrender & make it a reality!

”Starts with raising taxes on Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes,”
“Agreed but I’d go futher and crimalise being “super rich”.”
Explain what you mean? But that is just the Super Rich Economic Class, what about The Rich Economic Class? If tax at that or even higher you do not criminalize, thought I do not dislike the idea, because taxing, without any allowed loopholes or hiding of wealth in foreign banks & Etc., means they would no longer be able to exist.

“Condition benefits for having children, so that stops after 1st birthed child & 1st-adopted child,”
“No, you then have an adandoned class of children for anything over 2, birthrate is already well below 2.1 so no further measures are needed there”

No actually, you would not, if the governments would take protecting children serious & seriously rehabilitating parents that do not, over just using the police Capitalism army of keeping non-Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes down & manipulated. Plus most importantly 90% taxing of Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes results in trillions of dollars, so there be a ton of money left over & spent extremely efficiently (comes back in profits for the country & thus, more taxes) that other programs fully funded to meet needs would also address such problems. As really all these issues are interconnected, In my other reply,it stated I know about birth rate populations dropping & Etc., but there still are pockets were that is not true at all.

“No more immigration allowed” “What ? This doesn’t solve anything, it’s like saying no more homlessness is allowed by moving the homeless next city over.”

It is a good point, but you do realize that USA birth rates are low & dropping (compared to other countries), 1st World countries are all having this situation (I think it has to with economics crashing & ‘Global Warming’- I know for me, I will never have any birth children & put them through those evils)! Without outside immigration The USA & all other 1st World countries would be emptying. Everyone is focused on 1st World countries of places like Japan, South Korea & Etc., the perceived negatives of elderly care & Etc., but it is not just such places & really more about not providing good benefits for those that care for them/Capitalism. Good example of this is South Florida has many areas being overpopulated, not by immigration within USA, but outside! If you lived here, you would understand that. You would also know that most of those immigrants (racist, in that if you are Cubans, you have a good chance to have a good life, let alone if you were wealthy when you arrive) are not living good lives at all, especially, now with ‘The Crazy’ administration! As far as immigration within countries, simply, you do population density laws, that make illegal for too many people to exist in areas. With

“I disagree with this, it is unfair to poorer people that still have to find a way into still overpopulated areas & can be done in other & better ways.”
“That’s not true though, They’re spending the money raised on improving PT. And PT in buses that exisits now will have a better time not being surrounded by the fuckery of cars, also cycling is cheap ! NYC aren’t the Feds, to do anything the need to raise funds, the Feds can run an endless deficient as they own the currency, NYC does not. This doesnt even look to the savings for lowering car use eg health benfits, less polltuon”

About the huge benefits of pedestrian travel over automobiles travel, you are talking to the a huge believer in that! As person who was employed & travelled by bicycle to work, even with the tax benefit employers get for bicycling employees, they dislike the side effects, have to safely store bicycle, when no public bicycle lock setup, wash up before starting work & cannot just be given less time than takes to bicycle to work, to get work (just ones I can think of on top of my head).

What does PT mean?

“The other problem with beg buttons is that once they’re installed, it only takes one motoring supremacist to lengthen the delay and keep active travellers waiting so long that the light basically becomes irrelevant because there will be a gap where you can cross before the lights ever stop motorists. Nearly all crossings near me are configured that way. Only two sets ever change quicker. Another one is meant to but never does for me.”

You mean by blocking the pedestrian or pedestrians (including bicyclists) from crossing? Then obviously those drivers would be given tickets, problem solved. While I hate those Red Light Cameras, they do solve do automatic ticketing by license plates.

Interesting, please do start that,I have not heard that. I see it, if there are traffic around/Frogger video game, then it is too dangerous.

Yes, it is!

Financial cost wise only

With all the overpopulating of South Fl., some rural & spacial areas the politicians have designed more condos/housing, that even drivers are suffering a lot more as well. While I have no automobile, I do have to use roommate’s for Vet. visits. On one such visit, I decide to also travel to nearest post office (thumbs up for only USPS), should take at most 30-45-minutes, only because of so many stop signs, took 2±hrs… There was the only north/south mixed use (bicyclist, public buses, emergency vehicles & supposed to be only unmotorized pedestrians), separated & continuous roadway, with traffic lighted-push button crosswalks intersections, that forced me wait for 5-separate public buses to ride up (separately), wait & ride through, before able to drive through, NOT A SINGLE BICYCLIST CAUSING THE DELAY. Traffic after that just to cross or turn onto US1, line of automobiles from before mixed use pedestrian roadway to connecting intersection to US1. Then there was tons of rosd construction, which like most greater cities areas, South Fl. is famous for. I called our information line, we can no longer connect straight to public services & at least my commissioner dismiss helping to get stuff done with other public services, & was able file a complaint. What good that does, no idea.

I agree with your reply, what I would assume is true, but never seen a bicyclist pulled-over & given a ticket. South Fl.

Okay, I assume that is what is done, everywhere, no?

I seen this done by all types of people, but becoming less frequent because of such people/drivers, in the cities. Never seen a ticket given, I think there are no laws against it, when done with no traffic, just like jaywalking.

“Each stop is like another 100m travel.” That is a joke right? There is no distance added, very little time added for pushing a button, for bicyclist. By the way, you have read that what I suggested was automatically, after activated, going from Green-Yellow-Red. Automobiles would have to have time to come to a stop. Going from Green to Red would be a safety issue for automobiles & bicyclists crossing.

Obviously, with I creating this, I agree, but the difference of pushing a button & approach sensors to do the same amount of time when activated, is nothing time wise important.
Also, that is when the whole switch for bicyclists given ride of way system works, not uncommon here for them to not work.

Maybe, but in bicyclists experiences here, are just riding on roadways of heavy traffic & taking what the state laws are, it does not matter. That is why when I can, in cities, take sidewalks. I have had motorists just hate that I take whole foot from curve & ride around damage on roadways, it is nearly all our roadways (here it is fixed only before elections, by county), ride around the damage, or object(s), or in worst cases/most travelled by automobiles roadways ride around most damaged parts.

You what, we might be thinking off different bicycle lanes, sorry. We have, South Fl., only three, 1-completely separated from automobiles, but mixed pedestrians use with next to no protective barriers, some public buses that are separated in inside lane, not for bicyclists & in the bicyclists path, non-motorized pedestrians- traveling by feet, when people are following the rules, but it is super restrictive path/north & south & is so far away from our Ag. & Rural-Unincorporated area, that is it. Mostly just for not using US1, which is right next to it. 1-not separated at all, just lines painted on the road, on the right of farthest right lane & 1-REALLY IS NOT FOR BICYCLIST, almost completely just grass, never rode it, because it is the long & back country beautiful route & risk tire punctures. Really, it is for horse riders & ATVs-Dirt Bikes. Mostly, when it comes to the mostly used non-separated bicyclists lane, I used the safer option of sidewalks, but they are non-existent until cities.
You are talking about carefully going from bicyclists lane to the traffic and back to bicyclists lane, so you are probably using just lines painted on the ground bicyclists lane or it would waste more time?
I have had annoyed automobiles drivers do dangerous actions, like when I started played chicken. So much so that I had to contact cops, about the risk to my health, they stationed a cop car hidden at every other connecting East/West lanes (best way I can put it), just for one-night. Saw pulling over the violators, ended the chicken BLANK. The annoying behaviors got better, on the least traffic roads, when I rode the same least possible traffic ways enough, took the whole foot from the curve, that some bicyclist are scared to do & yelled at automobiles violators what the laws are. The drivers & home owners got to know me, then in my unincorporated area the reverse happened. That is right I actually had automobiles stop wait for me enter spot sign intersections & allow me to be first to ride through.

While  I really hate overpopulation of areas-towns-cities-counties-states-countries is one-thing, because of horrible conditions for The Livable Earth & Living Beings, horrible places for members of our species to live…

I disagree with this, it is unfair to poorer people that still have to find a way into still overpopulated areas & can be done in other & better ways.
Overpopulation is the problem & this does not address that problem, just makes it harder for people to get to jobs & other needed activities.

Starts with raising taxes on Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes, then:
Condition benefits for having children, so that stops after 1st birthed child & 1st-adopted child,
No more immigration allowed, no jail in USA-ship back enforcement, but Everyone in USA are legal, no need for any more legal or illegal people in the country crap, Only the vote of the people can any Gov. violence-wars be done,
All that start any degree of violence-war in another country, just like if it was in The USA, then arrested & appear in court, when convicted go to jail
& Pay directly every single country’s people (not politicians), we have done violence-wars in their country, $100 of Billions
&
Raise gas prices, like EU,
&
Raise the amount of space, in 3-dimensions (not just on ground level dimension) to building ratio, if the buildings already, then they must be removed. Destroy bad condition buildings, build only replacement buildings elsewhere, where are more space. Also creating more space for green spaces.

So in France bicyclist are allowed to ride through intersections when traffic lights are red for their direction, telling the traffic where bicyclists are riding from to stop, but bicyclists can ride through?

The lack of critical thinking causing me to reply with this is unbelievable,

To all those repliers-readers claiming that pushing the crosswalk button to cause the traffic lights to automatically go from green to yellow and then red, stopping the automobiles sooner, for the bicyclists wanting to cross, eliminates the benefits to The Livable Earth & Living Beings. As I have already said, in other reply, it does not because the automobiles were going to stop & go any ways, or there is no need to press the crosswalk button in the first place, can just ride through an empty enough intersections.

Another huge benefit if my idea was done, then more people would be incentivized to use a bicycle, run, jog or/& walk, instead of using any vehicle (even greener electric & Etc. vehicles) is way greener, in many ways.

Sure, I do not think it is illegal, unlike Jaywalking. I go if there are no automobiles, but with South Fl.’s southern areas population always increasing*, there are lesser & lesser chances that there are no automobiles.

*- With the northern areas (more political power) getting the state-county politicians to building a ton of cheap condos-houses in formerly lesser populated density-traffic southern areas & away from northern areas’ tourist & their already high population density-traffic for ever increasing low-minimum wage workers to live away from northern areas,

What big deal is having switch? Sure it would be cool, if it was done by censors sensing our bicycles riding-up. But would barely save any time, when they located at the beginning of the crosswalks/beginning of the intersections. Is that avoidance not wasting more time, let alone endangering you more?
