Fear doesn’t work, we’ve known this for decades. If we know what positive steps are being taken, then we can support those or perhaps build on them if you’re able.
What about this?: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210310-the-trillion-dollar-plan-to-capture-co2 We know corporations are a big part of the issue. Are there ways they’re being regulated?
That fear based, helpless feeling needs to be shot down when ever we see people spreading that. We need to take action, but no one is talking about what we, as a single household, can do. I’m not saying we alone can fix everything. What steps can we do and/or how can we support people who are doing the right thing?
When you need to replace your tar shingle roof, replace with metal roof. Metal roofs reflect heat and does not store heat. BONUSES: lasts longer than shingles. Makes attic cooler so AC costs should be less.
When you need to replace your air conditioner, replace with a heat pump. Many governments offer rebates for heat pumps which may make it CHEAPER than buying a new AC.
Apply heat reflective film on South and West facing windows. Don’t use tin foil.
Pool heater?: get heat pump
