Not just for rich people: the progressive case for air conditioning | Phineas Harper

Air conditioning can bring significant benefits but also real harms. The answer is for it to take its place alongside a comprehensive state plan for climate adaptation

As Britain reels from Europe’s worst ever heatwave, many households are, for the first time, seriously considering air conditioning. Leftists have often been critical of AC, pointing out that there are cheaper, more ecological ways to combat severe heat. But with decades of underinvestment leaving the UK dismally unprepared to handle further heatwaves, is it time to rethink the progressive position on air con?

Like many new technologies, air conditioning can bring significant benefits but also real harms, contributing to external air temperatures and global emissions. Dogmatically denying these harms, as AC boosters tend to, is unhelpful, but likewise refusing to explore how mechanical air-cooling systems could play a more productive role in progressive climate adaptation is just as blinkered.

Bulgur ‘risotto’ and tahini rice pudding: Anissa Helou’s Lebanese recipes

Grains are such a staple of Lebanese cooking that you could devote an entire book to them. Here are two shining examples: a tabbüleh-style southern dish and a Sunni speciality for dessert

If bread is the main staple of Lebanese cooking, grains and legumes are next, and there is hardly a meal without one or the other. Bulgur wheat is the preferred grain, especially for rural communities of all confessions; in the old days, they grew their own wheat to make it, harvesting, threshing and parboiling the wheat before drying it in the sun and sending it to the local mill to be ground into fine and coarse grades to last the household until the next harvest. In fact, given the sheer number of recipes across the country, I could have easily devoted a whole book to Lebanese recipes for grains alone.

'Baixe sua arma': pressão de moradores leva militares a ajudar em resgates na Venezuela

Voluntários e bombeiros equatorianos da Busca e Resgate Urbano (USAR) procuram corpos no local de um prédio que desabou em Caraballeda, estado de La Guaira. Juan Barreto / AFP Um protesto de moradores obrigou neste domingo (28) um grupo de militares a pegar picaretas e pás e participar da remoção dos escombros de um edifício desabado, quatro dias após os terremotos na Venezuela que já causaram quase 1.500 mortes. AO VIVO: Veja as últimas atualizações do terremoto ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp "O país precisa de vocês. Baixe sua arma, largue as balas", grita, indignado, um homem a um militar na região de Tanaguarena, no estado de La Guaira, o epicentro da tragédia, constataram jornalistas da AFP. Dezenas de pessoas que trabalhavam nas operações de resgate em um prédio destruído pelos fortes terremotos que atingiram a Venezuela na quarta-feira (24) confrontaram um grupo de cerca de 20 militares que estava no local apenas fazendo a segurança. Alexander Mijares, um comerciante de 26 anos que havia ido como voluntário ajudar na busca por uma amiga que ficou soterrada naquele local, explicou à AFP a razão de sua explosão de indignação. "Eles ficaram encostados em uma parede quando nós tínhamos que retirar uma pessoa que estava morta, e eles estavam tranquilamente parados em um canto", relatou. Sobrevivente conta como conseguiu ser resgatada dos escombros na Venezuela "Por que não os trouxeram com macacões de trabalho? Por que não os trouxeram com pás e picaretas? Por que os trouxeram com fuzis e armas? Onde está a guerra?", protestou. "Eles existem para defender um país", acrescentou. Ao seu lado, um grupo de pessoas também gritava contra os militares. "Meus filhos não vão ser jogados em uma vala comum", reclamou outro homem em um dos edifícios de Tanaguarena, exasperado com a demora no resgate dos corpos. Diante do protesto, os militares pegaram as ferramentas e começaram a remover os escombros. Os militares têm sido um setor privilegiado durante os governos de Hugo Chávez (1999–2013) e de seu sucessor, Nicolás Maduro. Pilar do poder na Venezuela, as Forças Armadas também são vistas como um instrumento de repressão. Equipes de resgate e voluntários buscam possíveis vítimas em Caraballeda, estado de La Guaira.
