Soutenez mon idée de piétonniser la rue de Washington.
Cette rue comporte plein de commerce de nourriture à emporter, avec une très forte fréquentation le midi car il y a beaucoup de bureaux dans le quartier. Les piétons doivent se serrer sur les trottoirs étroits.

Totally disagree on this one. Letting states run everything gives even more power to corporations, who can blackmail local governments, forcing them into a competition of ever lower corporate taxes, environmental standards, labour laws etc. It would be far better to have more federal legislation.

If the answers had included a "wealth tax on billionnaires" option, I'm pretty sure the approval would have been even higher.

It's funny to have to make this case but tbqh we don't make it enough: human efforts to counter fossil fuel use have had *at least some* effect on total greenhouse gas emissions since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, and there's some evidence to back up this position

This looks really cool, but I wonder what this mysterious silicon-free solar paint is. Perovskite? It's weird that they don't say which technology they're using.

Primary energy coefficients used in building regulations are highly political and dependent on your goals, and pretending they're just a result of physics is totally dishonest.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

But that is changing: Solar panel imports to Africa have surged over the past year—a shift poised to touch nearly every country on the continent as new Ember analysis shows.
