Not gonna deny the need for ACs for needy and vulnerable segments as well as in public places and transportation. However, many of these posters(not all) are missing or even argue against climate action by - Supporting SVP / FDP - These people will sell the planet for profits. Rösti who is in-charge of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications cuts funding for SBB, wants to increase the size of highways. Do you think this will lower the temperature or lower the number of heatwaves? Rampant SUV adoption - Can you talk about having an AC in your home in the blistering heat when you drive or support the mass adoption of these gas guzzlers? Any climate protest is labelled somewhere from inconvenience to public nuisance. At least those people are protesting. They are fighting so that it doesn’t even get worse(At this rate, it’ll be hell here, either burning or frozen if AMOC collapses. Any subsidy to night trains is opposed. How are we going to have a sustainable transport system? Yeah, I know you love your easyjet flights and getting there quick and maybe saving some bucks because subsidy for airlines and not so much for the trains. Well, there is no economy on a dead planet. I could go on and on. But ACs are just a band-aid on a gaping wound and unless you address the elephant in the room, one day even ACs won’t help. Or maybe let’s get our shit together and address the bigger problem - that is climate change. And yes I know US and China are major polluters but look at material consumption emissions per capita, Switzerland is much higher than a lot of other nations. Let’s do what we can! Switzerland is a small nation but can cast a big shadow as it has always. Let’s be the role model for other nations. Let’s make the likes of Dunant and Marty proud. submitted by /u/Sufficient-History71
