    and may not be the case for some years yet.

    The point of everything i’m saying is PREPARE NOW

    This “we might not need it for some years” attitude is literally going to get people killed. You’re on a bus careening out of control going “well now we might not need to press the brakes yet”

    You go on and on about the wastefulness of AC but I promise you there are going to be points where YOU WILL DIE WITHOUT IT and you’re not going to get that fucking HVAC put in while temps are killing people lmao

      Climate change is already killing people, destabilising nations, eradicating wildlife. Why is it that the only solution you can comprehend is for 30 million households to immediately adopt a ‘solution’ which the majority manifestly do not need, and would make all of the aforementioned even worse.

      Do you not think those lives are worthy of consideration? Or are you suggesting that we should only think about ourselves and our own comfort and convenience - everyone-else be damned - because it really sounds like that’s what you’re saying.

          I love how you keep ignoring the very idea that there may be other solutions that people can take first; that people will only use aircon to create a liveable environment, and won’t mostly use it simply to make a more comfortable environment - skipping over more responsible options; and that we can all burn energy without a care for the effects in those around us and the rest of the world.

          What a delightful little bubble of naivety!
