“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
Because the things are so entirely different that your analogy makes 0 sense in the actual world.
Sorry man, this isn’t academic hypotheticals. It worked in Sweden in 2019 so idk what to tell you.
How well do speeding tickets keep people from speeding?
If something worked once but failed a million other times, "it worked once" isn't very convincing.
Cool, I listed the worked once now list a million other times it hasn’t. I’ll wait until you get to one million.

Yes, we need more global action like the one that worked in Sweden in 2019. I agree.

-25% in 2019 compared to the European market decline of 7%. Not saying all of that is due to this action, and nobody could, but an effective decrease of an additional 18% in sales is nothing to sneeze at.
Edit: Sorry, that was just June 2019. I will continue looking for further sources after I’m done eating dinner

when was it tried a million other times, dipass?
See the article below about record SUV sales in 2021.
That’s global sales. Nice to try to use obviously unrelated statistics as a cudgel to stop climate action though. Very cool!
If this worked a million other times, you'd see some widespread effect.

Almost like deflating tires of SUVs as a means of climate action hasn’t been tried a million other times and is different than giving someone a speeding ticket. Weird.
Lol then what's the comment about "this has worked a million other times" supposed to even mean? This is Looney Tunes land
I’ve never said anything about this working a million times at all. As far as I know you are the only one who brought up “million other times” in reference to your theory on incentives and ticketing and putting people in jail for drugs or whatever. I’ve never made a claim that this has been “tried a million times”
And now I’d appreciate it if you’d stop engaging with me. At this point you aren’t even making sense and responding to me as if I claimed something that you brought into the conversation to begin with.
