What about repentance?

 

[espola]

I'm not going to work today and the Climate Strike has nothing to do with it.

Instead, I will be observing a plumbing crew installing a new water heater and removing the old one (unless they are out on Climate Strike).

Make sure they don't rip you off . . . plumbers and electricians attempt to take advantage any way they can.

What about repentance?

Ten Hail Hockey Sticks and an Our father Gore should do the trick.
That and dont forget to pay the mordida.

The original estimate was 2 hours by one guy, straight replacement. He came in Tuesday and said that they didn't know about the stairs (6 steps down from the parking lot level) and that the previous work was ok when installed, but not up to current code, so there was going to a delay, a 2-man crew, and more costs.

I remember when California mandated the ultra low nox water heaters a few years back.
My cost on a 50 gallon water heater went up 170.00 in one day.

You would still be working today if fossil fuels were not as cheap, plentiful and portable as they have been for most of your life.

Nice try. Without them, I would be still working tending a heard of goats in Fayston, Vermont.

I love hockey sticks. Especially the ones that show human flourishing over the last 50 years.

Poor goats.

You'd probably be fertilizing the pasture.
Dont take this the wrong way, but you look like shit.
Without fossil fuels, you'd probably have succumbed to the elements by now.

My ancestors whose fossil fuel use was limited to kerosene lanterns (and not even that if you go back far enough) lived, on average, much longer than I have unless they had already succumbed to accident or warfare.

Stereotype much?
Just one more wedge to divide folks...
You're a dimwitted simpleton.
You really should shut the f'up.

They cook on lanterns? Warm the house with lanterns?
They lived to be 100?

Why would you need a water heater if they are destroying the planet?

 

[Bruddah IZ]

4000 eco strikes around the world. That’s a lot of folks. Seems like a lot of trees could have been planted today.

Wood.

85 or so.

Maybe it’s just the garbage you eat.
Do not underestimate the health advantages you have with hot fossil fuel heated water.
Not to mention indoor plumbing and central heating

 

[Bruddah IZ]

Like I said. A lot of trees could have been planted today to make up for the wood your ancestors burned.
