This really should go viral. It should be a thing you know. I wonder if we could get Leonardo DiCaprio to endorse it. Supporting your cause is obviously the moral thing to do. It's for the greater good. It ranks up there in virtue with supporting Prius ownership.
I just want you to know that, although I can't deflate my own spare tire for personal reasons, I really admire your example of selfless attention to the collective harm imposed on society. I realize that the burden of going effectively "spareless" is a huge risk for you to bear, but just know you're not alone. To show my solidarity with you, I'll share a new hashtag on social media.

There.
Now that I officially support you, I'm morally superior too. Perhaps we can design a tee shirt so that others can wear their morals too. After all, we're in this together!
I hope you realize that new cars often don't come with a spare anymore. But continue to haul 30 lbs around for another 20 years.

Lol, the gist of those articles is basically "if your car doesn't come with a spare, get one." On average people have a flat every 70,000 miles. I just had one yesterday, actually. The only other option is to call a tow truck. How much evil carbon do they generate?
First, I go to buy a car, and it doesn't have a spare, I'm walking away from it.
If all cars go spareless, then I'll add one.
Second, if we're going to go bat **** crazy over the weight of a spare, will we now have random checks to remove people's emergency batteries, emergency compressors, tow straps, first aid kits, tie down straps, etc.
How about making everyone lose weight.

I have a spare donut tire, and a spare full size. Oh no.

If everyone got rid of their 'automotive' spare tires, how much additional carbon would be created by the tow trucks (heavy vehicles turning a minimum of six tires) running around to fix all the flats of those vehicles without spares? How much GDP would be lost by all those workers waiting on having a flat fixed?
I'm sure there's some money grubbing prof just waiting to get the government grants to answer those questions...and many more pointless and futile studies. Hey, as long as the grant money keeps coming in why not go with answers the money leachers want?

How much CO2 does a tow truck generate? I suspect they make far more calls due to improper/negligent maintenance than flats. GDP? How much for cars stuck in endless traffic? There are lots of ways to reduce the impact of automobiles; removing the spare is just one.
Yeah, all us profs are just rolling in the cash. Dammit, who wants to be a banker or hedge fund manager when you could be a prof?
So you propose adding more disabled vehicles to the roadside as a means to reduce traffic problems? The intellect is breathtaking.
Where the **** did I say that?? Thor made claims without numbers, and I asked for numbers. Troll the correct person, Woob...
Now hold on. You proposed everyone leaving their spare tires at home to save on CO2. Then you admit cars being stuck in traffic as a drain on GDP, and I will add, emissions. But disabled vehicles, and the recovery thereof, contribute to traffic issues. Spare tires reduce the number of vehicles on the roadside.
None of this is theoretical. I'm helping you understand the self-contradictory nature of your statements. If that is "trolling" to you, I would suggest you are operating under a flawed definition of the word. Also, it's woobie, which has an established definition, unlike woob, which is Twitter slang.

THEM'S YER WERDSTUFF, NOT MINE.
82F, in a large crowd, wearing dark clothes (because anything colorful would be "disrepectful"). Yeah, I think a lot of 68-year-olds might feel the heat.
Let's see how a bunch of much younger women, wearing much less, handled the heat in NYC this week.
Sorry dude.. That was at 9 am when it was 74 out.... But you keep on believing now ya hear?
Also.... I guess all the other heat stroke victims wearing dark clothing at the event just went unreported... Dang alt right media.

Can you imagine what would happen if everyone with a car that does not have a spare tire, went out at one time to buy a spare, and everyone inflated them at the same time? All the air would be sucked out of the atmosphere and everyone would die! Horrible I tell you, horrible!
I wonder if I could sell that to Algore????

That would be sarcasm. By your protests, I can see that you understand that removing the spare tires from vehicles would have a negative effect on traffic, and find it offensive that I would suggest you can not comprehend such a basic principle.
So you are willing to make the individual lives of stranded motorists harder, the lives of everyone inconvenienced by a stranded vehicle (i.e. stuck in traffic) harder, produce the extra emissions slowed traffic generates, produce the emissions a tow truck or "spare tire delivery vehicle" creates, all to save the emissions created by vehicles carrying an extra 40 lbs around.
This is why no one wants to listen to the greenies, even when they have good ideas. Because their ideas are usually so awful and poorly thought out, that no can possibly take them seriously. And to add insult to injury, they strut around like they are the smartest person in the room, God's gift to intellect.
So very little of what you have said has made any actual sense. And that isn't just you, it is standard fare from the green movement. If a bunch of hayseeds from Indiana can demolish your arguments, perhaps you need to rethink your positions. As I said before, I want to be responsible with the environment. Let's identify actual problems, not bogeymen. Let's identify workable, cost-effective solutions to those problems. Let's implement them in ways that do not restrict individual liberty. Unfortunately, when so many in our society with the best scientific minds are either 1) contemplating their navel or 2) doing "research" with the conclusions magically favoring the corporation or movement that funded their departments, it is difficult to have confidence that we will have anything but spare tires and wind mills to show for all of this.
If it sounds like we are not taking your idea seriously it is because we are not. Asking people to not carry a spare puts them in danger (and if you don't think hanging around on the side of the road at night waiting for a tow truck carries no risk you need to get off campus more), your academic approach to peoples lives and safety is not worth being taken seriously. Since your first recommendation is unworkable in the real world I'm sure the rest just get worse...
