Looks amazing! I bet this took ages to render.

Doing my part by trying to comment more on posts with 0 comments.

First angle was already nice, but now I’m jealous that I don’t get views like that 🥲

This guy clearly never visited Genghis Khan’s tomb.

I know OpenStreetMap exists as an alternative, but I don’t know if it has decent driving directions. You could check it out and see if it has what you want/need.

Nice view! Hope you can stay warm out there.

There’s more than just CO₂ coming from combustion engines though, like nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds, which can in turn cause secondary pollution. Cumulatively, I think those pollutants have a bigger effect on human health than the road particles. Also, these road particles still get ripped up by regular cars, even if it’s to a lesser extent. So overall I’m still convinced that EVs are a step in the right direction. We can’t know for sure until more studies are performed.

Funny how reddit isn’t on the list (or maybe I’m blind), but I guess it doesn’t really have to be since we’re already here anyway.

I’d imagine the amount of road particles ripped up is less than the amount of CO₂, NO_x, ozone and other pollutants and fine particles emitted by combustion engines, but I’m no expert. Only time will tell, but at least short-term the results seem positive.

Like all countries, there’s some good and bad things to say, but I think that investing in renewables was a very smart move on their part.

It’s always nice to see some good news in the shitshow that is modern day life, makes me hopeful that a better future is still possible. I hope that one day Beijing (and the rest of the world) can go back to clean air 365 days a year.
