Optimising your personal heating choices has a maximum benefit of $50 per month of fuel saved in the fight against climate change, then.
That rounds to zero compared to industrial-level decisions, and requires perhaps similar mental thinking time.
I don't see climate change being fought this way, not even if engaged people make themselves feel uncomfortably cold in the winter to the point of risking hypothermia (which is already a significant risk especially in the older population).
- Aachen 6y agoI don't see it being fought any other way, either. You think we can tell the big polluters to take it down to zero and just continue by ourselves? Not only is that incongruous, we wouldn't be reaching 1.5°C either. Unless perhaps you pay for scrubbing of your CO2, which would be fine by me (I currently pay for Climeworks, not because I can reach net zero that way (yet) but because it helps them fund the way there, they just need enough customers; something tells me we'll need scrubbing tech and capacity in addition to cutting emissions, seeing as the person above... let me just stop there).
