I think VEHICLES are more traffic, they just travel on roads! Less roads would cause more vehicles to be on fewer roads resulting in my traffic jams!

You would think that, but there's been multiple studies on it that say otherwise.

The belief that the world is flat has many studies too, doesn’t make it true. More people mean more vehicles, not the other way around. Just as roads don’t miraculously make cars appear!

I challenge you to find one actual study arguing for a flat earth.

You’re joking? We both know the sun rotates around the Earth!

I’m not joking. You are using a common anti-science argument against OP as some sort of “gotcha” and immediately pull back when challenged with some sort of humor. OP has shown actual scientific evidence with a source and you think your anecdotal evidence trumps it. Go back to Facebook with this nonsense.

How is this a flat earth study? Now I know you’re just trolling.

The discussion is about roads creating traffic! The population increase is the root cause of more roads, houses, traffic, pollution and etc!

You made the claim that OP’s study can’t be believed because there are studies saying flat earth is true. There aren’t any actual studies about this. You are dismissing scientific evidence based on your feelings.

I was implying the study was the same as claiming the earth was flat. Making the analogy that roads create traffic is backwards logic. The 500k population increase is why there’s MORE everything!! Happy New Year!

It might be backwards logic to you but it’s what the actual data analysis shows. Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean you can just dismiss it.

And this is why the US is a joke to the rest of the world.

Science: “Here’s some data and analyses!”

u/barzbub: “My feelings are better than your science!”

And to be clear, I don’t think you believe in flat earth. You’re just using it as an argument to dismiss actual science.
