"But tires"

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity's existance.. which should we choose?

im gonna hazard a little guess, and say they don't define this, because this would be like the FDA having recommended estimates for how many hurricanes you can consume within approximately a year, as that would be a rather silly statistic. They probably don't do that one.

Little known fun fact, the FDA is actually short hand for "food and drug administration" if you're concerned about like, global warming you should ask someone else like NASA. Which handles things related to the atmosphere. There would also be NOAA, which more directly handles the atmosphere, that's kind of it's job, you should probably ask them.

The FDA requires me to eat 4 hurricanes a year, with a side of has browns, haha

(I think it's the CDC that does regulations on carbon monoxide though)

im guessing OSHA probably has a few also. Most definitely some health agency, though i wouldn't be surprised if the FDA did have something pertaining to carbon monoxide, more generically. They have a lot of weird ones.

EPA I assume as well. Lots of letter factories out there
