37° heat is depressing.

@DoubleTreble Yes! Childhood holidays in the countryside in our own country are happy memories that stay with us for years.
@CiaraNi @jakobtougaard @TCatInReality
Sadly they're no longer seen as 'proper' holidays

@caffetino My experience in the past few days, when the heat has hit properly where I am (Denmark), is that people are noticing and talking about it, but what they're talking about is all the 'reasons' why none of us have to modify our individual behaviour and consumption because it's no use, 'what can one person do?' The possibility of change through collective action and mass boycotts is never mentioned.
@CiaraNi I really hope that will change. It has to, otherwise we're all....

@richpuchalsky They are the same thing. A mass boycott is just a collection of individual actions.
No it is not! Organization matters

@caffetino Yes indeed

@malte Thank you for saying this - I've been demoralised by the general reaction I see around me, both in 'real life' and online. People are putting so much effort into explaining away any need to modify our behaviour in any way. So I am encouraged to hear that it's not just me!
@CiaraNi I am definitely in your subgroup. And I regularly feel very alone about this issue. The more serious climate change becomes, I am frustrated with how little personal responsibility we are willing to take and how an idealized thought about fairness (those who are richer / worse / etc than me should change, before I will change) gets in the way and unintentionally makes us fuel global warming even more.
