Youth protests for better school conditions have prompted a national political crisis. Lack of adaptation to a hotter world is part of the story.

This is such a profoundly important connection to make. This heating event will unravel many social structures … and sadly be the end of huge numbers of innocent people who never got a chance to live.
In prepping for the heat, I slammed my roof with an additional 18x 400watt panels … even putting them on the north side (n.america). And because this house is older… the AC could not keep up in the 100 F + / 37.7 C + extended heat wave. It didn’t keep up, but it still kept us relatively cool. And I still felt it… not to add to the sense of helplessness describe in this.
In this heat, I also installed solar and batteries on my parents home, 41 panels / concrete tile roof… I did the work myself but had an electrician do the wiring of the inverters/batteries/mid/subpanel. Doing the work on the hot roof made me feel like I was on mars missions… go up during curtain hours and for a limited time.
I share this because I wanted to learn how to do this… because we’re all going to have to learn how to survive this. It’s entirely unrealistic to think that someone would be able to afford or even physically do what I did, but I do think we will need to figure out how to overcome the exploitative markets and previous generations bad decisions to protect each other and humanity’s future.
