What incentive is there, other than a longer term monetary saving cost (reduced energy bills) & reducing the local air pollution, for wealthy people to spend 10 000 plus, on installing a heat pump, rather than spending that on another cruise ship jet holiday

The former reduces CO2 emissions (over time, compared to a gas boiler, for example), the latter increases CO2 emissions

My posts that are tagged with are about my personal adventures (experiences) living in crony-land, & the discussions l have with folk that express varying levels of cronyism.

For example, l know on a personal level retired wealthy people that regularly travel on combined cruise ship & passenger jet holidays (high CO2 emission lifestyles). I don't blame them for wanting to travel. But, it's always me that first mentions the subject of & what to do about it.

The fact is if the majority of adults in a society were informed enough about , & passionately wanted to make sure that enough was being done to prevent a , we'd have done that already.

E.g., it's not that hard for the key decicion makers to divert funds away from 's & into renewable tech.

The fact is, that hasn't happened enough to reduce global annual CO2 emissions. I draw my conclusions from the fact that so many folk are fossil fuel apologists.

Arctic Ocean could have 1st day without sea ice by 2027, study says
Report authors say daily sea-ice free conditions could be avoided if global temperature change doesn't exceed the 1.5 C threshold. But already, northerners are feeling the effects of the warming climate.

New study shows that natural disasters have a profound long-term impact with excess deaths orders of magnitude larger.

"... the average tropical cyclone generates 7,00011,000 excess deaths, exceeding the average of 24 immediate deaths reported in government statistics."

As always we forget to count the externalities. The polluted soil left behind, the stress of the event.

Good lessons here for environmental (and other) political activists: make sure there's an upside, and put your emphasis on that -

"In France, the yellow vest protests were a stark reminder that poorly designed carbon tax policies can alienate those who feel unfairly targeted. But when revenues from carbon taxes are progressively redistributed as cash payments, as in British Columbia, public opposition softens significantly. By returning the revenues directly to citizens, the policy offsets economic burdens, especially for lower-income households, and fosters a sense of fairness... When people see personal benefits to climate action, their willingness to support it increases... in Spain, for instance, the governing Socialist Workers party closed 28 coalmines without losing votes in local communities, because it provided generous social benefits and invested in new local job opportunities."

Precis s hr.

"Kalibers avsljande r en pminnelse om att ocks de som arbetar med klimatfrgorna behver kllkritiskt granska uppgifter som frmedlas ven sdant som bekrftar den egna intuitionen eller de alarmistiska budskapen. Nr organisationer som Unicef slarvar med fakta om klimatet, och medier hakar p att frmedla felaktiga uppgifter, s undergrver det frtroendet fr hela samhllets klimatengagemang.

Och det leder i slutnden till ondigt vatten p klimatskeptikernas kvarnar."
