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.
Yep. Pieces like this, while containing a kernel of truth about the imbalance of living conditions and the carbon footprints thereof, are actually more or less just sneaky pieces to get citizens angry at each other, and that’s a lot easier to pull off successfully if you point the finger across a national border.
