Nuclear is hardly "clean" energy. Not unless you don't mind a toxic radioactive dump in your neighborhood's decommissioned nuclear power plant.

Glad you enjoyed your time in Asia! I'm originally from Singapore, miss it every day haha. The driver struggles are a yearly occurrence at the Singapore GP (and Malaysia when F1 used to race there). 32c and 100% humidity is just daily life in Singapore - not sure how I lived there for so long. Drivers normally train all year specifically to handle the race in Singapore. I only ever stayed indoors haha.

Their battle with heat has been on the rise though, and I suppose it's the same with athletes all around the world that train or perform outdoors. The number of drivers reporting heat exhaustion at races other than Singapore has been on the rise in recent years, and the issue only grows larger with each year.

What to do? Each of us can kidnap a member of Congress (first come first served :)) and not release them until they have cast a vote to tax net CO2 emissions.

Very good article & especially the bottom line. Unfortunately, Australia, by its actions of approving more fossil fuels extraction is effectively in denial.

Put the blame on the people who USE the fossil fuel, not the people who produce them.
