Climate crisis dissonance. To the left, I see that the council has made vendors price their food according to its cost to the climate. To the right, I see the car company selling cars to people while telling them how to reduce their CO2 impact. Good thing my emotional rollercoaster doesn’t run on fossil fuel.

Climate crisis dissonance. The Prince and Princess of Denmark sailed by yacht from Copenhagen to Aarhus, a trip that takes 4 hours by train. They’re being driven around in a 9-car convoy for distances that take 5 minutes to walk.

Their yacht is docked below a UN Sustainable Development mural that should have been finished two days ago. But the artists are still painting it. The reason it wasn’t finished on time? The gable wall got too hot to paint on.

Climate crisis dissonance.

Pictured, left: a little blue sticker shaped like a tear-drop of water. Printed on it: a plea from the multinational hotel chain asking you, dear individual guest, to reuse your towel.

Pictured, right: a big fluffy white bath towel hanging on a big heated towel rack that is fully heated in July with no on/off switch that I can find. The towel is steaming hot.

Not pictured: the steam coming out of my ears.

@CiaraNi
I think drying the towel needs the heat more in a warm moist July than in the winter.

If the aircon is on, it's of course a mistake.

@notsoloud This was in Ireland, so not a warm moist July :-)
