Love how they always say "the experts" but never mention what fucking experts they are.

Give me some names instead of just saying "some expert said it"

To be fair, they usually say which experts in the article. Just nobody reads the articles 🙈

The "Experts" are flying all over the world in their private jets, emitting more pollution than I do in a year

How and why? They are usually professors who regret not taking a well-paying job from some company.

Greta Thunberg probably does too, with all the places she speaks and demonstrates at. I'm not going to take issue with it though because her whole thing is advocacy and protest. Just the same, I'm not going to take issue with scientists going to conferences, where they discuss the latest climate science and green technologies and projections, and issue joint statements calling for changes.

  1. Mr. Gotcha

  2. These aren't the scientists telling you that you'll just get used to the heat.

This isn't meant to be a gotcha. And the experts are certainly scientists of some kind, or in medicine. The article itself clearly isn't, and if they're being genuine it was in very poor taste. The headline should've been about ways to cope with the heat, not about how we're about to adapt to heat. The latter has unsaid connotations.

My point is that you shouldn't discount the scientific experts based on air travel. The other "experts" can go fuck themselves though
