This is the problem, people have been quietly talking about this issue and trying to convince people for decades. Barely anything has happened. Protest is supposed to be inconvenient. Not sure whether this type to protest works, but the quiet, passive way certainly doesn’t.

Exxon produces less than 3% of the world’s daily crude demand and in May its shareholders overwhelmingly rejected calls for stronger measures to mitigate climate change.

Good, I hope this makes people stop and think who is responsible and who should be talking on the lions share of work to fix the problems.

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.

There have been so many targeted projects to weaken the publics understanding of climate change as a whole and activists personally. It’s high time that these companies reinvest their record breaking profits into fixing the problem they have a large hand in creating.

Nooo, can we just actually put someone useful in the position and see how that will help and improve things?

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%.

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

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.
