The two-day shutdown comes at a time of record-breaking extreme heat across the globe, with July poised to be the hottest month in history.

    You’re trolling, right? Can’t possibly be this delusional…

      Unbelievable. The data is right in front of you. Not hard to analyze. You don’t need to process high temperatures!

        Those poor Iranians

        I suggest you try to analyse the data. Iranians have a very high energy usage per capita - at least as high as any EU country and probably higher. The country is a major oil and gas producer, and the population is accustomed to cheap petrol prices due to heavy subsidisation by the government. You won’t find many Iranians opting to use public transport for the good of the environment. Like Americans, they would rather sit in their own air-conditioned vehicles in interminable traffic jams.

          Lack of choice and potential lobbying from the car industry might also be factors here. I can’t imagine anyone who would drive if there was cheap and plentiful public transport available.

          I’d say the same for the Americans. A century of pro-car policy removes the illusion of choice.

          Um, excuse you, the climate catastrophe is a GLOBAL phenomenon! We are collectively guilty for killing our mother. Are you a Zionist agent, gaslighting us with anti-Iran propaganda? How are they supposed to switch to renewals when their economy is crushed by US sanctions at the behest of Israel???
