Employers letting their recently brought back to office remote employees go home early to try to beat transit issues caused by extreme weather events that are becoming more common due to global warming caused by everyone commuting to office every day burning energy and creating pollution.
It took a global pandemic to spur us to switch to a more modern and as it happens environmentally friendly way of working, which could even help us alleviate housing issues by allowing more people to disperse around the country, help local economies in more rural places, but no, let’s go back to doing things exactly how we did before.
Everything is fine.
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoSure... But how much extra energy is consumer by people heating/cooling their 1-2 person homes now they're in it all day? Likely less than transit, and not zero. Regardless, the primary impact on climate change has always been and likely always will be those who manufacture your clothes, plastics, electronics etc - which people bought more over over said pandemic. Rural areas invaded by "COVID refugees" are broadly losing out on their culture and filling with yuppies with too much money and no interest in community. I admire your passion, but the problems are more complex.
