No need. Except for Hacker News and local news, I don't read the news. I don't use other social networks except for a few small non-news subreddits and Github.
But my local environment is changing year over year, and it's concerning.
> We get to live in air conditioned houses
It's funny that you mention that. Air conditioners were almost unheard of where I live. But now we're regularly hitting 40C+ in the summer for long stretches and people locally are installing them. It wasn't like that 15 years ago.
To flip your advice on its head, maybe turn off the air conditioning and experience the change firsthand.
- Auracle 3y agoI work outside. I guarantee my 2 year old daughter will be just fine in regards to global warming. Some areas of the world might have issues, but if you're in a rich country like America you don't really need to worry about it on a personally-affecting-me-level.
