This whole thread really. It's not just that we'll have more pollution from ICE cars (and of course cause more warming). It's that once again, economically, we are choosing to stay in the Stone Ages because the stone industry has convinced us it can't get better.
It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!
It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

My three-year-old was reading the Atlantic when he turned to me gravely and asked “daddy, why are the 60 Minutes reporters mad at the nice lady with the funny glasses?” And when I told him “because they’re jealous that she’s richer and more successful than they are,” he started crying.

You’d really be forgiven if you had a hard time conceiving of a success on this scale. “So I’ve got this idea for an environmental and public health project, we’re gonna reduce pollution by a fifth. No no it doesn’t cost anything. Actually it’s gonna net half a billion dollars.” What!
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.
