I remember when Texas had frozen they mocked global warming by saying it's gonna cool down the US.

From that day to today's heat dome, things have changed a lot

They are early. I saw an old prediction for EU temparature

The 2050 temp they had predicted was less than the current heat wave

The people here prepared a list: https://drawdown.org/

There are literally hundreds of actions that could be (or in some cases have been) taken. I think the vast majority need to be taken by the government. Individuals mainly need to to support and demand these actions from the government, and punch climate change deniers in the face. E.g.

1. Stick to their plan to ban ICE car sales by 2030.

2. Unban on-shore wind power (Labour did this! Not that anyone noticed...)

3. Mandate solar panels and heat pumps for new houses.

4. Mandate bike lanes for new roads (blows my mind that this isn't a policy).

5. Take distribution into account when paying energy suppliers, so we aren't paying for a load of wind power in Scotland that we can't use (I believe this is being considered).

6. Upgrade the grid so we can get power from Scotland (I think this is in progress).

7. Make car charging infrastructure sane. No apps! Fines for broken chargers. More chargers along motorways. Street-side charging.

8. Stop freezing fuel duty.

9. Mandate OpenTherm (or similar) on boilers and thermostats.

10. Create an open, mandatory standard for remote adjustment of power consumption of things like air conditioners, freezers, car chargers and so on, that must be supported and can be used by power companies to optimise grid usage. Some large buildings do this but 99.99% of things that could do it don't.

11. Offer government backed loans for solar power. There are private companies that do it but they're seen as quite sketchy (e.g. if you sell your house...) so uptake is low.

12. Give office employees a right to work from home one day a week where it's possible (similar to how you have a right to change your hours).

13. Ban patio heaters.

14. Ban especially inefficient cars (e.g. less than 20 mpg).

15. Fix the railways... They are working on this tbf.

Voters also don't care much.

You might say that rich people and politicians have more responsibility because they have more power for making changes, but politicians are chosen by voters, and wealth doesn't make people more ethical

I'm 100% behind it, but would regulation of financial markets and balanced tax policy do for global warming ? Sure heavy regulation of industries and fossil fuels usage but financial markets, im not sure.

Europe and the world in general obviously. 1000 people doed in France due to the heat wave.

Ignoring heat wave deaths, Hormuz crisis has shown us that oil cam be blockaded but the panels and windmills installed on our rooftops can't be blockaded

Even Cuba is setting up solar plants with the help of China.

Philippines is the highest importer of solar panels since Hormuz was blocked. Rest of South Asia is quickly following

Check current renewal deployment figures, China is actually at the forefront, and India is taking the "right" path.

Yeah they will, its literally cheaper now.

China and India are installing crazy amounts of solar. I don't know much about Russia.

India is doing industrialisation via solar. Massive solar arrays on top of factories and warehouses.

How the heck is installing solar panels to generate green electricity de-industrilaize?!

Also India is building worlds largest solar park of 30GW
