Yes!

I think work from home and also the adoption of the 4 day work week will be critical to tackling the climate crisis

All of the climate reports for the uk suggest we will need air conditioning 10 times more and our heating will be needed less. So the future should absolutely be in air conditioning and two way heat pump systems

We should probably stop subdising fossil fuel companies so much by this arguement. I’d rather my tax pounds went to subsidising heat pumps than fossil fuels.

The UK government has given £20bn more in support to fossil fuel producers than those of renewables since 2015, the Guardian can reveal.

From 2020 to 2021 they received an extra £1bn support from the government compared with 2020, a 10.7% increase. For renewable energy in the same year, total support for projects increased by just £1m, or 0.01%.

The most frustrating thing with heat pumps is how little help the government are providing. They will cost a fortune to the consumer, especially in houses that need existing heating systems altered to be compatible.

We need better grants and funding. Way better.

And then you can’t get back to sleep after…

Fincher, Fassenbender, Tilda Swinton and Trent Reznor on the soundtrack. How could this be a no?

This just keeps getting better and better!

Agreed, basically what I live off anyhow. But then it is leaf water, so unsure if the rules would allow!

There was an interesting study done on a city hear me which said that the lack of trees and general built design of the area had made the city’s temp go up by between 2-5C. Which is a big difference!

We desperately need regulation for people and workers in extreme temperatures. We’ll be dealing with more and more of it as times goes on so the protections need to be in place.

There have been so many targeted projects to weaken the publics understanding of climate change as a whole and activists personally. It’s high time that these companies reinvest their record breaking profits into fixing the problem they have a large hand in creating.

This is the problem, people have been quietly talking about this issue and trying to convince people for decades. Barely anything has happened. Protest is supposed to be inconvenient. Not sure whether this type to protest works, but the quiet, passive way certainly doesn’t.

We do need action on all levels of society, and we need to be treating this as a crisis.

On a local level (in the UK) there are a lot more community and Council groups being setup to try and find solutions I would absolutely recommend attending those.

Other than that, ensure your pension is invested in green and eco investments and try to fly less (maybe even drive less).

Weirdly I’m subbed to 162, so almost exactly the same. Not sure of the kbin/lemmy breakdown.

Most of the communities are still really small or inactive but I’m subbed in the hope they develop in the next few weeks or so.

I was expecting to hate it from the title, but the actual image is so much worse! Just why!?

Love this topic! I’m with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?
