To me you are both slightly ridiculous or possibly even dangerous in your attempts to boost your own credentials, in one case to appear anti-woke, in the other to appear environmentally concerned. You are symptomatic of the dumbing down of debate that has become prevalent on social media in which people abandon common sense for the imperative to back 'their side'. It is entirely possible that the notion that some weak minded individual may pick up on the notion that carrying a bottle of water on the tube in hot weather makes him a libtard. We live in an age in which some regard any medical advice given as 'woke' but at least it is primarily them that will suffer the consequences. Insisting that drivers sit in an exceptionally hot car could have consequences for others however. There is no real environmental justification for it as a largish car will generate 180 grams of CO2 in ten minutes plus a barely measurable amount of particulates, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. An adult male will generate 40 grams of CO2 in that same time. At 40 degrees centigrade, the lower end of the interior of a car if it was parked up in the higher temperatures of last week, the drivers cognitive function would be severely compromised, their work capacity would be at 60% and concentration would be impaired, an increase in heart rate would make motor control more difficult. Just to add 'cracking a window' means opening it and even if windows are fully open, you wouldn't be able to stop the inside of the car reaching these temperatures. For this reason studies across the globe have confirmed a correlation between road traffic collisions and temperature. A 2020 study in the journal Environmental Research found that accident risk increased by ~5% for each 1°C rise above 25°C on hot days in the UK. In the U.S. and Europe, police records consistently show more crashes and fatalities on unusually hot days, controlling for traffic volume. I doubt either Rosco or Dominik are particularly bothered by the potential consequences of what they say, but we all should ignore them both.
