You extracted billions of years of stored energy from the ground and set it on fire over 50 years. Did you really think there weren’t any consequences?
They didn’t care. They got to live through the benefits and not have to worry about the consequences. As far as the climate is concerned, they were the party generation, and we’re the hangover generation.
I didn’t realise it was just this one grandma that did all that.
The San Francisco Bay Area is having the hottest and longest heat wave of the year right now. I hate it. October shouldn’t be so hot. 90% of residences in SF don’t even have AC because it was almost never necessary 20 years ago.
99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.
Pretty much the same temps for me in the south bay.
It’s not much, but wearing a soaked t-shirt/tank and having a fan or two circulating the air with the dryer stuff outside has helped me a bit.
I didn’t check today but it was 105 yesterday a few miles inland. I saw the HVAC dude at the food truck and he was the happiest I’ve ever seen him.
If you have a window to put one in a window AC unit can be life changing and you can get them for a decent price. I know it might still just be too expensive but if you can afford one i highly reccomend it. You can even bring it with you if you ever move apartments.
It was supposed to end last week too…
It’s 87 right now over here. It’s 10pm.
But seriously, I was introduced to Canada in late October of 93. And arrived to 18"+ of snow.
What if she voted for Jimmy Carter?
