Maybe that'll make them rethink drilling for more oil and gas there.
Of course not, they need that oil and gas to power the AC units everyone will be buying now. Won't somebody think of the revenue?
32C is not that bad, a simple fan is more than enough to keep you cool.
If any mod could edit the title to be "90°F" that would be great, it took me longer than I'm willing to admit to understand what it meant :)

Same copy paste on every climate change post is starting to feel like tedious spam at this point. I see from your history it's the only thing you have ever posted on HN.
Hey NeedMoreTea, you're right - so far I haven't posted so much else. Do you have any idea on how to raise awareness of community projects that you would feel are more respectful? 50+ people have joined the projects over the last week, attributing it to threads on HN, so it seems that for some users it is providing some value.
Weirdly, it is now our dry season, with temperatures around 21degC and I just Googled the weather in her area and they are expecting around 30degC - Alaska is actually hotter than Northern Australia is right now!

I don't expect Alaska residents will immediately start buying AC units just because 1 day in a year reaches 32°C. 32C is not that bad, a simple fan is more than enough to keep you cool.
I imagine 32C might feel damned pretty hot to an Alaskan.

If you're only here because this place has high visibility, not because you're interested in the conversation, you're a spammer no matter how noble your goals are.
I want to help these people find a spot where they can find like-minded people interested on working on it - and I believe climate change posts on HN are a good match between people concerned about the climate, and who would be interested in joining tech communities working to fix it. I'm all ears to find other ways to give people avenues to work on their "climate" anxiety - let me know if you have better ideas.

I'm (obviously) very involved in climate change and how tech (very represented in the HN community) can play a role in fixing it: many are asking themselves the question on how they can do something about it.

E.g. I find 0C in London way colder than -15C in Northern Europe.
