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.

Hard to know what to say to these stories anymore. But one idea is:
One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.

Exxon produces less than 3% of the world's daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

It's true, but also quite damning of our whole political system. I just think we're well past the point of party politics with this issue, it all needs putting aside and we need to see real change.

I have the same large Dutch oven and we use that and a cast iron pan for basically everything. I envy your le creuset collection we barely have space for the Dutch oven!

Well it always is down to something like that, but how depressing. I always think, just how much money do you need?
Also if you are a great business person, why not diversify in what clearly needs to be future tech and infrastructure?

I think keeping it in people's minds is useful. Otherwise it's easy to get wrapped up in your day to day life. I've found that climate stories are often under reported here or categorised as another issue.

The oceans are a vital regulator for the climate and our weather but are rapidly heating up.

A series of records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice are "unprecedented", some scientists say.

Apologies if I missed one that has already been held. But I saw a member census of beehaw, which was really interesting. I'm not suggesting gathering of any personally identifying info, but more generally getting a sense of who is here on kbin.

I may be being stupid here but is there a way to click on an article/post and cross post it to another relevant group/magazine? I'd rather not have to copy and paste it all, it would help with community visibility if you could cross post from smaller communities to larger ones. Edit: editted post title to add 'in kbin' for clarity

European researchers said Thursday that the the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time. That is the limit governments said they would try to limit global warming to at a 2015 summit in Paris.

What has everyone got for their dad's, who are usually particularly hard to buy for? Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!
Unfortunately I downvoted what I thought was a bot yesterday and now the post is showing up in my profile under boost. It's not the kind of content I want attached to my profile and removing the downvote hasn't done anything. I think it's a known issue but the boost tab in the profile seems to be a bit buggy and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
