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.

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.

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!
