Hmm, I don't think 'remote work' is a climate action.
Many of the people I know who work remotely live in areas where they are highly dependent on personal vehicles. Some of them moved to more remote areas where they could get bigger houses which require more heating and cooling. Given a person who lives in a smaller, well-insulated apartment in the city and has a short commute by public transit, bike or on foot, vs a person in a 2000 sqft mcmansion in the exurbs who works in their home but needs the car to go to the supermarket, who has the smaller footprint?
Yea but airlines are government subsidized and a terrible way to shelter money, whereas commercial real estate was a great way to shelter money until the plebs decided they wanted more autonomy over their lives. I hope you understand why we have chosen to prioritize things this way.
