One major climate message that we've really got to elevate above all others is that addressing global warming is way, way, way, way less expensive than ignoring it!
The cost of solar power has dropped around 90% over the past decade, and battery storage costs dropped 85% during the same period.

All this passive cooling instead of using A/C would have a huge impact on energy usage.
I reckon that if we could capture and store the #AtmosphericRiver and #Flashflood/#Monsoon-type #rainfalls regionally, that would also be a huge game-changer.

I am not saying that the impact of doing all that on e.g. the global amount of precipitation or the climate will be measurable.
However, I believe that mass-implementing #microclimate technology can be a game change, e.g. for #permaculture. 1) [link follows shortly]

Also, it might reduce evaporation considerably, conserving more water in reservoirs and reducing humidity and thus posdibly flashfloods.--hypothesis.

#BernieSanders' approach to providing funding for low- and middle-income #US families to install #SolorPanels at their homes is the right way.
This program should be copied as a blueprint for all countries, at least in #OECD and #OPECplus countries, which do, in prinicple, have the funds:

In particular, the @EU_Commission with its #GreenDeal should pay heed.
