I didn’t even recognise the story in the film. I did hear something about amazon making a series adaptation?

Yes!

I think work from home and also the adoption of the 4 day work week will be critical to tackling the climate crisis

All of the climate reports for the uk suggest we will need air conditioning 10 times more and our heating will be needed less. So the future should absolutely be in air conditioning and two way heat pump systems

We should probably stop subdising fossil fuel companies so much by this arguement. I’d rather my tax pounds went to subsidising heat pumps than fossil fuels.

The UK government has given £20bn more in support to fossil fuel producers than those of renewables since 2015, the Guardian can reveal.

From 2020 to 2021 they received an extra £1bn support from the government compared with 2020, a 10.7% increase. For renewable energy in the same year, total support for projects increased by just £1m, or 0.01%.

The most frustrating thing with heat pumps is how little help the government are providing. They will cost a fortune to the consumer, especially in houses that need existing heating systems altered to be compatible.

We need better grants and funding. Way better.

Hard to know what to say to these stories anymore. But one idea is:

One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

Well yes, I wonder if they had a plan beyond the statement.

We desperately need regulation for people and workers in extreme temperatures. We’ll be dealing with more and more of it as times goes on so the protections need to be in place.

I think we all know rapid change is possible if the right motivators are there. Not sure how you get people and legislators to make the rapid change we need.

A few things we can do as individuals is fly less, eat less meat, drive less (where possible).

On a larger scale, write to your representatives, and vote for people who actually put climate change at the forefront of their agenda. It’s now time for us all to be really pushy.

Honestly I find that making physical hand written notes better cements the ideas in my head. It may be because I’m older so I started with only pen and paper which means that’s how I best think, but for me writing and typing are two different tools and I tend to use both.

Well this has very much sold it to me!

You ads selling that to me! I don’t have Disney + so that might be an issue. I loved rogue one, but that was the last star wars thing I enjoyed.

I think this might be a truly unpopular opinion, but I could not get into the expanse at all. Just never got invested in the characters enough to stick with it. I’ve retried watching it 4 times due to everyone recommending it, kind of given up now!

Also the latest star wars films killed any interest I had in star wars.

I was expecting to hate it from the title, but the actual image is so much worse! Just why!?

Love this topic! I’m with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?
