Jesus, the comments here are abysmal from what I can tell.

I'm no doomer, but we need to do something about this, even on the grassroots level.

I was in Redding California the other day and the outside thermostat on the car showed 122F. The outside air was almost unbreathable.

yeah it was worse than when we went to Death Valley a few years back (national park) which is the hottest place in the US.

Makes you wonder how hot Death Valley is now...

many apartments in california don't even have AC this-is-fine

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, the house we rent doesn't have AC either. If we had those kind of temps here we'd have to go to a hotel or something. There was a week of 90+ temps a few years ago and it was unbearable inside. Couldn't sleep at night, could hardly breathe during the day. I can't imagine 120+
