I do think we could be more responsible about how we use our AC, reasonable thermostat settings, not just leaving the windows open etc. But also as the world gets warmer and places get more humid it's more and more literally life-saving. What we really need is to decarbonize our electricity.

People need to change the idea that modifying our environment rather than modifying our behavior is the way to go. Instead of wearing several layers of tight clothing, try 1 or 2 layers of light loose fitting clothing. It's actually more comfortable and at much higher temps.

Collective action isn’t so easy or obvious. Lots of people are just oblivious. I know someone that leaves her coop at 65 even when she’s out of town. She doesn’t even understand why she shouldn’t since it doesn’t cost her anything.
