Truly wild.
I'm in the northern us and traveled to Austin, TX for work recently.
I departed at 72 degrees and raining and landed in 98 degrees with a 78 dew point. It was a heat index of 116.
I understand exactly why the world is burning, watching all the people scurry from AC to AC in a state which derives most of it's power from fossil juice. And then of course, everyone is driving a monster vehicle and coal rolling pedestrians and e scooter renters.
We're so fucked.
This is not supposed to be personal, but an additional point is how it is completely natural to us as a society to fly somewhere. Even if it's for work.
Absolutely.
I don't fly often, but my entire team travels for work, meaning they are on the road all day, everyday. We are a sales organization and that's what is expected by our customers.
I'm not exempt from blame here. I do what I can to reduce my footprint, sadly it's not much.
I fully understand. I did that for a long time, too (working and participating in a frequent flying environment). But that's really where we need to change society. The way we think about things that we have never questioned before.
And one additional thing should become very clear: it's not only about our footprint. Someone needs to stop others from destroying everything, from flying, from coal rolling monster suvs etc. And as there are too few people being that someone, we need to be that someone.
Global warming or American degrees...
Was Fahrenheit even American?
I think he grew up and lived in Europe after his ancestors moved there from Africa.
Feels ironic.
Don’t forget all the animals people eat!
