In theory shouldn’t mass a/c use lower the temperature outside as well? When you open a door from an air conditioned building doesn’t cool air escape?

Privatized air-conditioning survived the ozone crisis, but its power to separate—by class, by race, by nation, by ability—has survived, too.

are black people not allowed to have AC now?

Sounds kinda racist they think only people in temperate regions deserve comfort. What about the innuit people's and sub arctic populations? Should they give up personal heat in favored of community heat? Maybe what we need is no individual living units like houses or apartments, just huge barns so everyone can be equally miserable.

I guess while we're making certain to lower the average standard of living, we might as well get rid of personal bathrooms too.

I assume Time Magazine is leading the way by removing all air conditioning from their offices?

I like how they call it more efficient when it’s less efficient. #believescience

Well, America invented Air condition or at least made it what it is today.

Libs hate America!

There’s a time nearing where we are going to have to cut the balls off this shite.

OK, you want me to stop using A/C, stop eating meat, ride public transportation, live in a hipster box, buy a heat pump, etc.

Where's the price signal? None of that shite is particularly economical.

Try and pass a tax on those things if you don't like it. It's not happening. I mean, I guess it kind of happened with diesel, but Americans don't really care for diesel anyway.

“Comfort for some” my arse. I doubt more 2% of the population of Louisiana live without A/C.

I swear these morons want us to live like it’s the 1700’s to “save the planet”. We are the planet. If we’re living miserably, what’s the point of anything?

Will not happen.

The loss of life during the first summer in the deep south would be appalling, and in the cities in the deep south those would be deaths of people of color. Not acceptable.

Let’s flip this on its head. I assume the author is a yankee, so let’s get rid of winter heating by natural gas, coal, and fuel oil and see if that’s better.
