This isn't a climate solution. We can't "you do you" ourselves out of the climate crisis.
We need federal standards that protect workers from the heat, and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
Jenny@luckytran This sounds suspiciously like that “frogs in hot water” parable… 🤔
Luis@tiamat271 @luckytran Also blaming people instead of trying to solve the real issue. "Well, it seems like you have not been exposing yourself to enough heat".
Hat. AuDHD cat 😷🌺🍉🌻🔻@luckytran *checks for alt text
Ash_Crow@luckytran are they really advocating for mithridatization of heat?
kip@luckytran Alt text:
a screencap of an article from The Washington Post, in the category "Climate Solutions".
The article is titled "Your body can build up tolerance to heat. Here's how.".
The first paragraph reads: "Small gradual exposures to heat can help the human body build tolerance to rising temperatures, experts say".
Steve Easterbrook@limes @luckytran
What, like “Small gradual exposure to bullshit can help the human mind build tolerance to climate denial”? Nope.

kira :3@luckytran lmao no way they're trying to leana wen the climate collapse
Baron Vonskinnback@luckytran why is it always our fault or our responsibility to deal with, it's never the actual people that cause the issues is it.

@luckytran As a counterpoint though, if people could get more acclimated to using less air conditioning by setting their home temperature higher, it would help to reduce electricity usage.
We over air condition so much of America
pollinator stan@Wheresatom @luckytran architects here have been relying on air conditioning in their designs for like seventy years now. our buildings don't stay cool otherwise any more. some people really crank it but there’s a systemic reason why it’s such a staple in the "developed" u.s.
Tushar Chauhan@Wheresatom @luckytran This is absolutely true. The US is air-conditioned like it is automobile-d. Excessively and with utter indifference to the planet.
Alexander The 1st@Wheresatom @luckytran From what I recall, the sheer electricity usage of AC units, and how much hot air they pump out into the world, is collectively still much, much less than if we reduced carbon footprints with reduced internal combustion engine car usage, or reduced plane fuel usage, or a whole bunch of other, much more effective ways to reduce electricity usage.

You cannot acclimatize to high wet bulb temperatures.

artisanroxWhat pisses me off about writing like this is the people who come up with this 💩 have people paid to make sure they're pleasantly fanned and valets that wear P100s when in their vehicle.
Anne Ominous@luckytran i agree w you.
but stopping the burning of fossil fuels is nowhere near enough anymore. i hope ppl know that. we could stop burning it all tomorrow & things will still be heating for awhile.
that's why countries are going to start geoengineering experiments. some of which will go badly.
sht is going to get really crazy in the coming years & ppl should absolutely do anything they can to prepare. incl saving as much money as possible now so you can quit working so much later.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘@rustoleumlove @luckytran And if the banking system breaks down, or the internet breaks down? Your "money" will just be numbers you remember seeing on a screen.
lotta people really missing he point here.
sure. you should immediately start living your life like the internet and the banking system are going to collapse, completely, tonight. go for it. do it now or else you're a hypocrite.
@rustoleumlove So what did you mean by "save as much money as possible"?
davehodg@rustoleumlove @luckytran Stopping burning fossil fuels is a good start, though.
Fish Headocean temperature Florida, 34C. I think that means you risk death if you stay in the water.
Not “tolerance”. And not, please, tolerating.
TBYG@luckytran That may be the most asinine headline I've ever read.
meejah@luckytran "Continue to boil the frogs, it's fine"
@luckytran This feels like something you'd say to the frog in the slowly heated water.
0x575446, Fifth Columnist@luckytran It might not be a "climate solution", but it's absolutely a component of the climate problem. Expecting every living and work space to constantly be 70 degrees year round is complete folly.
la_panique@luckytran This is BLEAK. Like the UK media telling people that a little starvation was good for you.

@luckytran Government-controlled media tricking us into their capitalist ways trying making us not see there truth in the world

RyTiger-ΦIN@luckytran some real Lord Farquad energy.
Some of you may die, but that's a risk the rich with AC and no obligations to others are willing for you to take
Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@luckytran You can probably get a federal standard for preventing heat-related workplace deaths and illness. But you're kidding yourself if you think any government will - or even can - "keep fossil fuels in the ground."
The best you can hope for is government kickstarting / subsiding the growth of solar and wind power, carbon capture and energy storage technology.
Jagat@luckytran
That's great. Now how do we build tolerance to stronger hurricanes, flash floods and ecosystem destabilizations?

charlesesmith@luckytran your body can build a tolerance to flash floods and wildfires, in this article…

無夢星球@luckytran can’t believe they put this title under “climate solution” label…are they losing minds…
Tucker Teague@luckytran @l82be The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. The Post is his mouthpiece. I’m sure he sees this as a valid solution for the rest of us.
Lstn2urmama 🇨🇦@[email protected] are a fac..was extremely ill and had constant fevers as high as 105 degrees and when finally down required higher temp. In house and was able to endure Temps of 86f in house and find that room temperature s to 76 are cold for me...never could take heat beyond 80 before and now can...it's called CONDITIONING AND SAME WORKS FOR THE COLD AS WELL...
João Santos@luckytran I would like to know their brilliant solution to keep the human body working at over the 38°C/100°F we are routinely seeing in lots of places (well I know the German's FDP solution of you go to work at 4AM, sleep there in the middle of the night and go home at 10PM, but I would like to see more of this sociopathic creativity)
Texan Tally@luckytran After getting my last electric bill ($50 higher than last month), I'm looking into how I can best use "off-peak hours" to save money. I may well need to find a way to become nocturnal OR do all my heavy cleaning and the like in the morning and once the afternoon hits (peak hrs seem to be b/w 1 and 9pm with my energy company), reduce as much as I can and focus on writing, so no heavy appliance use. I'm gonna give this a shot tomorrow, actually. Curious how my (likely to be hotter outside) August will show up for that billing cycle.
Nuncio Bitis 🏳️🌈 🇵🇸 🇺🇦@luckytran Utter fucking bullshit.
Why isn't anybody calling them out in public?
Because it's too much of a money-maker scheme to spread false information.
