There are other sources of CO2 that are far more significant than cars.
If everyone in the developed world ate less meat and dairy. We could cut huge amounts of CO2 and methane.
If we made consumer goods in our own countries instead of china. then we could cut a lot of shipping emissions.

Air-pollution wise, cars used to contribute a lot more to smog than they do now that we have catalytic converters on everything.
Car / transportation pollution is still about a quarter of Beijing's smog problem.
Oliver Rodriguez
Sort of. All of the cars in the world are less harmful than the 15 biggest supertankers. However, we're still completely fucked when it comes to climate change pretty much no matter what we do so pop off that cat and roll that coal because we're heading straight towards our Great Filter.

I think you should have asked "Is pollution a meme" OP. Because it is. CO2 is hardly a problem like people make it out to be.

the critical amount of pollution in paris
when we have speed limit reduce and half the cars off the road
is lower the everyday pollution level in Beijing
they have a way bigger problem than Europe and the US
problem is china is literally running coal and you can't top that
but that doesn't mean you should poison your surrounding
Benjamin Smith
Yes.
The byproducts of fuel combustion are actually good for you. I suggest you close your garage door and turn on your car for maximized health benefits
Ryder Mitchell
I was joking, I don't think people should actually do that but we're past the point of stopping the 3.5 celsius average increase which is likely going to lead to an extinction-level event. There's some chance that we can figure out a way to outright get rid of pollution rather than just conserving, but conservation is past the point of working. The damage has been done.
David Morales
it is thought
making a fire in your fireplace is for exemple way worse than driving your car
it's even banned in some cities

i don't think we would go extinct because some other species disappear
we would adapt like always
