I like that the article brought up the thing about a/c, A lot of people, myself included, dont think about it. A/c cools our homes/cars/offices/malls sure, but it also produces green house gasses that make the world even hotter. And then we use more a/c and the world gets hotter. And then we use more a/c and the world gets hotter.

Every day it feels like humanity is pushing closer to end times, if we arnt in it already
