We know what is driving more frequent and more intense heatwaves, and we know what climate action is needed to stop it from getting worse. The only gap is in the political will to do it.

Once relatively rare, extreme temperatures are becoming more common as humanity pumps greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, feeding the climate crisis.

This means that, now more than ever, communities need to transition to cooling methods that don’t rely on fossil fuels or emit planet-warming emissions, like many current air conditioners and refrigeration systems: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/boiling-hot-how-cities-can-beat-growing-threat-extreme-heat

Passive house building standard which was codified in Germany is based on a Canadian idea. It uses less energy to heat and cool by various strategies and technologies. They also use quality materials, thus it is less expensive to live in or own.

Ms E May still hitting it out of the park!

Listen to Ms May on this one. She knows what she is talking about. I would only add that you look up the spill in Kalamazo, Michigan which is one of the largest and the most costly fossil fuel spill on American soil in its history. All while having Enbridge Gas monitoring for leaks. The result has been the National Transportation Safety Board recommending that where oil is listed in regulations and laws, governments in the USA must not equate that to diluted bitumen. Diluent is physically erosive because there is still some ‘sand’ in it, and it is chemically corrosive, unlike oil. The river is ruined, and the off-gassing of the diluent caused illness. Diluent is flammable as well as toxic. Some bitumen remains today at the river bottom which has been dredged, ruining the ecosystem. For years cottagers were not permitted to use their cottages and fish have yet to return. PS the diluent is imported by the USA’s refineries. This why if you recall the Keystone pipeline was to be a double pipeline, as if the case usually when bitumen involved. The diluent is piped to the tar sands and then the dilbit is pumped back in the opposite direction. Diluent is highly toxic and flammable as Ms May points out.
