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.
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.
Nooo, can we just actually put someone useful in the position and see how that will help and improve things?
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?
Fincher, Fassenbender, Tilda Swinton and Trent Reznor on the soundtrack. How could this be a no?
This just keeps getting better and better!
Why are we still pushing for coal mines? I would have thought australia would be ideal for solar in certain places.
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.
Agreed, basically what I live off anyhow. But then it is leaf water, so unsure if the rules would allow!
Oh that’s a shame, it was great being able to split tasks between 2 of you
Thanks for letting me know, can’t wait to play it!
I didn’t realise it had already been released. Definitely getting the game ASAP. The couch coop of the last game was great, hopefully it’ll be the same/similar for this one
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.
I think we all know rapid change is possible if the right motivators are there. Not sure how you get people and legislators to make the rapid change we need.
A few things we can do as individuals is fly less, eat less meat, drive less (where possible).
On a larger scale, write to your representatives, and vote for people who actually put climate change at the forefront of their agenda. It’s now time for us all to be really pushy.
Yes!
