What makes me most optimistic are the recent technological innovations and falling costs for renewable energy generation, battery storage and alternative fuel vehicles. The Paris Agreement represents an acknowledgment of this realization, and a significant first step in developing a plan of collective action to tackle the problem.

One of the main tools to slash our global dependence to fossil fuels for heating and cooling is the mighty heat pump. Super efficient, running on super cheap solar electricity, able to either heat or cool homes and other buildings in the worst climates, there is no surprise that the market for this technology is booming.
