We do have a climate crisis that needs to be addressed. The US transportation sector accounts for the largest portion of US greenhouse gas emissions, and I firmly believe it is a human right to breathe clean air. Heavier vehicles also generate more particulate pollution from tyre wear. —Shaffer et al. Shaffer et al.
