I refuse to believe people can keep writing and believe this fucking stupid blame shifting shit. Every fucking time things get worse the bottom rung is encouraged to tighten their belts while major corporate polluters and energy hogs go unregulated.
What would be good for the environment? The author is almost there. We need to spend more time outside (building scaffolds)
Oh damn it’s almost like using the AC IS me adapting to climate change. It’s so weird that I keep needing to leave the AC low even though it’s Fall now. Hmmmm
Meanwhile air travel is the only practical way to travel in this country. A mode of travel which is unlikely to ever be electrified on any meaningful scale — not to mention the amount of battery waste that would require.
China’s basically solved this problem already with high-speed rail. It doesn’t need batteries because the power is delivered to the track. Far more sustainable.
High speed rail would make sense in the US, too. Like everything between Montana, Texas, and Kentucky is flat. You could build rail lines that are perfectly straight with nothing in the way you’d have to make a turn to go around (causing you to slow down). Such a line could probably hit 300 mph. If the line was fron LA to NYC, it could make that trip in about 9 hours (probably not because eventually you have to go around the Rockies, Appalachia, and Sierra Nevada).
But no. Let’s continue using shitty tubes passengers get crammed into where we limit how much stuff they can bring and can’t leave their seat except to go to the bathroom.

I’m with you on this. “Stop using AC, adapt to climate change!”
Meanwhile the US air force is flying 10000 planes a day for no fucking reason.

The nord stream explosion is how many hours of household AC unit at max setting?
