This was my parents' village (in the UK) last week. This week, my Australian colleagues had to leave campus because the power grid can't cope in the heat. The same happened in Tokyo last summer, with threats of rolling blackouts as heat stroke hospital emissions soared.
What baffles me is that climate change is clearly affecting (nearly?) everyone on a personal level now. So... why are we not all panicking?
Is it because with so few alternatives to fossil fuels, we don't know what to demand?
