Interesting, good article about the politics of air conditioning in Europe. (also, following @euronews is kinda handy). TLDR, it's (unfortunately) become a political thing, with the right wing for AC and the left wing against AC.

Induction stove, week 2
1. Family is very happy with the switch!
2. Air quality improvement in the house is dramatic. Especially CO2 readings.
3. Stove is a LOT cleaner amd easier to clean. Magnitudes easier then the prior gas range.
4. Heat shielding on oven is far, far better than the old oven. Does not heat up the house like the old oven, which was noticeably adding heat to the house when on.
5. Manual controls with knobs on this particular model is great! No touch screen required for the cooktop.
6. Heat level control is absolutely stellar on this model. Everyone here is very happy about that (was a concern vs. gas)

Ouch, I did not realize how racist that guy's statements were.
NY Times, Aug 14, 2019
"Myths about physical racial differences were used to justify slavery--and are still believed by doctors today.... They believed that black people had large sex organs and small skulls — which translated to promiscuity and a lack of intelligence — and higher tolerance for heat, as well as immunity to some illnesses and susceptibility to others. These fallacies, presented as fact and legitimized in medical journals, bolstered society’s view that enslaved people were fit for little outside forced labor and provided support for racist ideology and discriminatory public policies."

BBC: Global heating: Study shows impact of 'climate racism' in US (May 2021)
"A new study says that black people living in most US cities are subject to double the level of heat stress as their white counterparts.
The researchers say the differences were not explained by poverty but by historic racism and segregation.
As a result, people of colour more generally, live in areas with fewer green spaces and more buildings and roads.
These exacerbate the impacts of rising temperatures and a changing climate."

This is paywall/subscriber only, but curious what they're getting at in here... (anyone have a sub?) Is this "air conditioning use by society will result in more energy usage and accelerate climate change" or is it "if you are used to air conditioning you will die faster when there's a heatwave and power goes out"? Or, "only weak people die of heat"? Or something else?

County of Ventura
"We want your feedback! Share your experiences with extreme heat
Hotter temperatures and warmer days can affect daily life across Ventura County, especially for those who work outdoors, older adults, children, and residents with limited access to cooling resources.
The Ventura County Heat Action Plan is a community-focused effort led by the County of Ventura's Sustainability Division and Ventura County Public Health in partnership with local community partners to better understand community needs and identify practical ways to prepare for periods of extreme heat.
Community input is an important part of the process, and residents are encouraged to participate in the survey to help shape future planning efforts.

The Denver Post: Denver will raffle off $1,000 in gift cards for commuters, residents who ditch their cars more often
Monthly gift card drawings, discounts at local businesses and restaurants are part of ‘Shift 2’ program
"The Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is handing out $1,000 in gift cards each month to people who live or work in Denver and choose to commute or run errands without a car twice per week.
To enter in the “Shift 2 City Wide” program, participants must log two non-car trips each week that would otherwise be solo driving trips. That could mean walking, biking, scooting, carpooling or taking public transit instead."

Japan Times: A South Korean beekeeper counts the cost of climate change
"...rising temperatures due to climate change are shortening seasons, causing flowers to bloom earlier and for shorter periods. The weather changes have also brought strong winds, which can make it harder for bees to find their way back to their hives. Mites and new diseases have also hit the bee population.
“City people don’t notice seasons, but farmers feel them directly. Now it feels like only summer and winter remain,..."

Oh, this in particular
"...Essentially, none of the new renewable electrical capacity the US has built in recent years is going to replacing existing CO2-barfing coal, oil, and gas plants. It's all getting eaten up by AI data centers. That of course drives up electrical rates across the country, which in turn means people are less likely to switch to electric appliances, which means even more CO2 produced.
We're already probably past the point that we will have a livable planet by the end of the century. But whatever slim chance we may have to survive as a species gets slimmer with every new data center built. But, you know, "it is what it is."..."
