I imagine there are many US people living in places with 100+ degree days for months in a row – Places which seldom got above 90 a half-century ago … who do not understand that driving a car with AC to a home with AC is making matters worse.

The situation is urgent, yet we keep hearing 2060 2050 2040 2030 deadlines as if a fix could somehow be delivered by then . BUT: If we got to zero -tomorrow- , it’d stay as it already is for centuries. Every day without HUGE changes NOW it’s getting worse.

    those consumers often can’t make choices due to being coerced by their economic circumstances

      Very true. As someone on 8k a year, I can very much relate.

      However, people making enough money too have no excuse.
