I've lived in a humid sub-tropic region (South Texas) of the US my entire life. A couple weeks ago we had an all time record-high heat index of 117. Objectively, that seems pretty high, and subjectively, it sucks huge dick. I'm really not all that interested in learning how much higher my body can withstand while being told that everything is fine, and anyway whatabout China?

I'm guessing as a Texan, you have a car (or worse, a truck)? You're causing the situation you're complaining about.

How about, I'm mildly homeless (essentially I live with my parents to leverage economies of scale around energy usage; I don't air condition a dwelling that only I live in), I ride an electric bike when possible (to include to my office which is 2 miles away), and I've recently taken up beekeeping and growing a portion of my food hydroponically. I never fly in a plane. I will eat basically anything, but it leans away from beef and other problematic stuff. I doubt I'm doing enough, and I've become pretty convinced over the last seven or so years that humanity is just straight-up fucked anyway (no kids for me which I could say is a green thing, but really I can't imagine explaining the magnitude of the fuckedness they'd face (and the living with parents thing sure doesn't help either)), but anyway I'd feel even more responsible if I did that stuff. Regarding the truck thing though, the Ford Maverick looks pretty useful and I believe there is a hybrid, so maybe that would be reasonable? #notalltexans lol
