I’ll note that 2.5°C of warming by 2100 is a significant improvement over the trajectory we were on a decade ago, even if still far from where we need to be
I understand how drag works, I was more referring to what seemed to me as a comment on how increased height in vehicles has made fuel economy worse, when that is not exactly true. Yes it does decrease economy, especially if compared to the height of a car, but if we are referring to “used to”, the newer taller vehicles are still more economical than their shorter older predecessors
There are however billions more vehicles since the 70s, so I think it’s kinda a moot point.
