  • People who work from home all the time ‘cut emissions by 54%’ against those in office

  • Yes!

  • I think work from home and also the adoption of the 4 day work week will be critical to tackling the climate crisis

  • Gas boiler lobby trying to delay UK’s heat pump plans, leak shows

    Jump

  • All of the climate reports for the uk suggest we will need air conditioning 10 times more and our heating will be needed less. So the future should absolutely be in air conditioning and two way heat pump systems

  • We should probably stop subdising fossil fuel companies so much by this arguement. I'd rather my tax pounds went to subsidising heat pumps than fossil fuels.

    The UK government has given £20bn more in support to fossil fuel producers than those of renewables since 2015, the Guardian can reveal.

    From 2020 to 2021 they received an extra £1bn support from the government compared with 2020, a 10.7% increase. For renewable energy in the same year, total support for projects increased by just £1m, or 0.01%.

  • The most frustrating thing with heat pumps is how little help the government are providing. They will cost a fortune to the consumer, especially in houses that need existing heating systems altered to be compatible.

    We need better grants and funding. Way better.

  • Antarctic sea-ice at 'mind-blowing' low alarms experts

  • Hard to know what to say to these stories anymore. But one idea is:

    One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

  • Exxon says world set to fail 2°C global warming cap by 2050

    Jump

  • Seems like the reasoning they are going with. Really we need to make it somehow more profitable to do the right/climate focused things.

  • Exxon says world set to fail 2°C global warming cap by 2050

    Jump

  • Exxon produces less than 3% of the world's daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

  • Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.

  • The UK’s newly appointed minister for net zero is facing questions over her links to a think tank funded by oil giants that called for climate protesters to be jailed.

    Jump

  • It's true, but also quite damning of our whole political system. I just think we're well past the point of party politics with this issue, it all needs putting aside and we need to see real change.

  • Any Le Creuset fans?

    Jump

  • I have the same large Dutch oven and we use that and a cast iron pan for basically everything. I envy your le creuset collection we barely have space for the Dutch oven!

  • Nooo, can we just actually put someone useful in the position and see how that will help and improve things?

  • Coalmine approvals in Australia this year could add 150m tonnes of CO2 to atmosphere

    Jump

  • Well it always is down to something like that, but how depressing. I always think, just how much money do you need?

    Also if you are a great business person, why not diversify in what clearly needs to be future tech and infrastructure?

  • Why are we still pushing for coal mines? I would have thought australia would be ideal for solar in certain places.

  • Despite clear signals that Hurricane Idalia was influenced by climate change, less than 2% of US TV news coverage made the link

    Jump

  • I think keeping it in people's minds is useful. Otherwise it's easy to get wrapped up in your day to day life. I've found that climate stories are often under reported here or categorised as another issue.
