Some of these are under the control of ordinary people

United Nations: Causes Of Climate Change:https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/causes-effects-climate-change
---1. Generating electricity and heat with fossil fuels.
2. Manufacturing
3. Cutting down forests
4. Transportation
5. Producing food
"Producing food causes emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases in various ways, including through deforestation and clearing of land for agriculture and grazing, digestion by cows and sheep, the production and use of fertilizers and manure for growing crops, and the use of energy to run farm equipment or fishing boats, usually with fossil fuels. All this makes food production a major contributor to climate change. And greenhouse gas emissions also come from packaging and distributing food."
6. Powering Buildings
7. Consuming too much
"Your home and use of power, how you move around, what you eat and how much you throw away all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. So does the consumption of goods such as clothing, electronics, and plastics. A large chunk of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to private households. Our lifestyles have a profound impact on our planet. The wealthiest bear the greatest responsibility: the richest 1 per cent of the global population combined account for more greenhouse gas emissions than the poorest 50 per cent."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I get a deeply unpleasant feeling with each of those "Hottest Day On Record" reports.
Please know that you can do something besides distract yourself until that feeling goes away and another one of those reports inevitably comes.
You can do something effective that is also easy. You can eat something else.

The next time there is a "hottest day on record" report, know that there is something you can do. Just eat something else.

Poll
How did you respond the last time it was reported that "today is the hottest day on record"?
I apologize for the quality of the choices. Mastodon only lets you have four.

Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.
The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.
One reason is methane.
It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.
However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.
A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.
