I dunno, kinda feel like the mass suicide of the human race would give off some serious emissions.

in the short term maybe but i feel like it's worth it when you look at the big picture

Most big pictures are improved by the exclusion of people, it's true.

I wouldn't need heating and would need less cheap flights if I could be evacuated from the northern wastes to somewhere more sustainably habitable, and I could deal without aircon if I had to & I don't think it would make me buy a car

I'm 48 years old and I have lived on the east coast of Australia my whole life, from Brisbane down to Hobart, and I have never, ever lived in a house with an air conditioner installed. Of any type. The most I've used on hot humid nights has been opening windows and a fan blowing on me.
Isn't it also true that most Americans use electric dryers instead of pegging their laundry out to dry for free in the sun? WTF.
