@lienrag @lx242 @welshpixie individual people's tech consumption habits don't cause or aggravate global warming. the system of incentives integral to capitalism, including nation-borders, animal farming, private+government control of shared resources, rentism, work culture, and ultimately the decision power being concentrated in a tiny minority of hands who are not affected by externalities, is what causes global warming.
unless these systems are fought directly and abolished urgently, global warming will keep worsening, no matter how many fans you nobly refrain from turning on.

I agree that individual actions pale in comparison to industrial/capitalist causes, but they do aggravate global warming too - IIRC the remedy to global warming is 25% individual actions and 75% abolition of capitalism (to summarize).
Turning fans on or off is not a major impact, but producing ice in the fridge to cool the air begins to reach the levels where huge energy inefficiency has an impact, even at individual levels.
