What a stupid thing to say.

But what do we expect from the left wing press

Idiot.
I think you're being a bit hysterical.
Let’s set a target to cut the use of cars by 90% over the next decade.​

Yes, the car is still useful – for a few people it’s essential. It would make a good servant. But it has become our master, and it spoils everything it touches. It now presents us with a series of emergencies that demand an emergency response.

He wants to start a debate. He wants to set a target.
You can't conduct a debate merely by calling someone's idea stupid or idiotic, or left-wing, even if you consider left-wing to be an insult.
 
That's not what George is say is it.

I don't feel hysterical
He's a columnist. They are known for their willingness to incite debate.
He's also a political and environmental activist.
 
OK.. What would you do to achieve this goal if were in your hands
Electric cars would solve most f the problems he raises (air pollution).

Reweables/nuclear would provide the power of course, along with gas with carbon capture, and a smeg load of connections with our neighbours.

It's not what George is saying.. He wants rid of cars. According to his headline
 
Won't the rest of the world look on with envy at the UK, when we have no car plants to produce these hideous blights on the environment(y)
Yeah, it's a bit like the UK claiming that it is sticking to climate change targets...

When it's switched industrial production to China/Asia instead!

Outsourcing of emissions!
