The left are so crazy. I expect to hear one day that farts are outlawed and if you do it you will be ticketed. This is how crazy the left are. This is what we have to live with until 2024.

Hey don't joke. One of our left wing liberal administrations actually tried to impose a fart tax!
On stock farmers. That was more to do with methane emissions than CO2 but then they went and removed the tree protection act (the next administration did). Apparently getting richer was more important to them than global warming. Six years later we are losing up to a thousand tree a week! In the cities that is. But they still bleat about carbon taxes and blah blah blah clean green blah blah.
On the plus side, our winters have become rather pleasant.
I wanted to say something about toughening up - our ancestors managed just fine in the warm weather but then someone mentioned lynch mobs so I didn't.
Where people should focus is large public buildings, like grocery stores and offices. I have said for 20 years, just turning up the thermostat a few degrees could really make a difference. Ask any woman. We all freeze at work. Some people even put space heaters below their desks to stay warm.

Radiant heaters are way more effective and use less power to boot - if you can find a small one. I know about these things! If some manufacturer figured it out, they could make a lot of money on it. Heat lamps are the next best option but are a little underpowered. Or not. Next winter I plan on getting one if they are still available. Thing is, they put the heat right on you where you need it. In that way, they save on energy.
John Kerry, the climate control guru, rich billionaire married to the Heinz fortune, flies around the world in a private jet, telling the pipeline workers to get another job and announcing that if the US reduces to zero carbon emissions it will have no affect on the global emissions.......
Wow, I think that's the first time you and I have agreed on anything. But where we might disagree is, I think the government should keep out of it.
Suggestions, yes; mandates, no. During the blizzard of 77, we were asked by the state government to lower our thermostats to 62. My father thought 66 was low enough.
Utility companies sometimes give incentives to lowering energy use, too.
It would literally destroy these new homes which are designed with climate control as a given. These new houses are made with manufactured materials where it used to be solid wood, concrete and stone. I have no idea what 70-80% humidity inside would do to these structures.
