alt text for four panel image

First panel: a poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids asks a smart™ thermostat “hey little man hows it goin?” Second Panel: the smart thermostat points with a large arrow at a screenshot of a graphic that reads “August Trends: Heating & cooling compared with last year”, and shows zero hours more heating, 129 hours more cooling, with a small caption underneath that reads “On average, temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than August 2022” Third Panel: the poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids is shown with an unreadable smile in front of a semi-transparent image of a NASA article that reads “NASA Clocks July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record Ever Since 1880” Fourth Panel: the poorly drawn figure says “yea”

    So? Are you complaining that

    • your house is poorly insulated or
    • that you are in a bad place financially or
    • that Australia’s energy mix is not sustainable enough or
    • that you cannot afford a heat pump for efficient heating?

    Or is it something else?

      Landlords don’t care about insulating properly

      Energy prices are 30c per kwh, insane energy bill of 1000$ per month to heat to a cold temperature

      This is using heat pump heating 💀

      For a place to be “fit” for living in, it should cost less than a thousond a month in heating. All this while half the world is struggling with heat, wild isn’t it?
