Another protest that won’t make the news.

Out of nowhere a massive haze rolled into town today. I have never seen anything like this in my life. It became hard to breath, a sudden fire smell hit the air and then a brown cloud covered the entire city. You could see it coming. Now the sky is an unsettling orange, even at night. Evidently smoke from wild fires in Canada have drifted all the way down to eastern Pa. Totally normal!

    zackster Wait till it starts raining ash, one of those absolutely surreal moments in my life when living in California.

      Elitists in the media…who are they then?

      More of the same today. This never would have happened under Trump. Canada’s shitty air would have stayed in Canada!

        zackster
        Fucking big wall required !!!

        Have you not got a ww2 style gas mask? Doubles up as a rad bong

            zackster Trump did the best air. Nobody did air like him. Lots of people were saying it. Some said it was the best air in America, maybe the best of all time.

              Not a surprise. Was looking round whilst out and about yesterday and nobody seems to give a fuck.

              No meaningful incentives to do so either, despite recent energy issues.

              Take vehicles -most of the new vehicles I saw yesterday weren’t ev’s. Our neighbour wanted one but ended up buying diesel because they couldn’t afford the price point for the size of car they needed.

              Depressing, starting to get into Amos mode with people buying new petrol/diesel cars.

                My mate just had a heat pump installed, it cost him £6k on top of the grant, this is just isn’t feasible for many

                Also not convinced the technology is the silver bullet for heating homes

                I’m sticking with gas and jumping on the Octopus Tracker from next month which has been at 4p per kWh since Jan

                  Mad_Cyril yeah, and just one but it’s the sole source of heat for our small (83 squate meters) house for most of the winter. When it dips below -5 degrees celcius we open radiators in our living room. The radiators and our warm water still gets heated with oil, but we don’t really need it to heat our house, we go through about 1000 litres a year. Otherwise the heat gets pretty evenly distributed with the heat pump.

                    Hursty are octopus accepting new customers? I want to fuck Scottish power right off. Cunts
