How nations deal with summer heat:
๐ซ๐ท France: banned alcohol
๐ฌ๐ง UK: cancels surgeries + order residents to remove unapproved air conditioning units citing regulations and net-zero policies
๐ฉ๐ช Germany: shuts down roads and rail
๐ฏ๐ต Japan: rolls out one-man human refrigerators (the Do Hiemon Box) in public and business spaces - compact booths that blast targeted cool air at 15ยฐC/59ยฐF for quick cool downs
THIS is what civilization looks like. Europe reflexively shrugs in the face of problems it KNOWS happens with regularity
Real talk what has Argentina contributed to the world? I canโt name a single dish or anything famous from that country that arenโt footballers. 0 culture
Itโs so funny that this constituency has a massive divide and some of the poorest areas in the UK but these thick bastards keep voting for right wing parties who dgaf about them, repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot
As the UK enters its third heatwave of the year it couldn't be clearer: we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels.
We'd like to remind Andy Burnham that approving new oil and gas licences is a climate crime. It won't deliver energy security and it won't take a penny off our bills.
The only way to deliver cheaper, secure, homegrown energy is to invest rapidly in renewable power.
