It's been pushing triple digits where I live the past few weeks.
The A/C feels fine!
My A/C has been running for two months now.
Obviously not from around Houston.
So much for the liberals' claim to value the lives of the powerless. This sounds like plain old fashioned Spencerian social Darwinism.
Here here, I have not had an air conditioner 20 years, but then I live about 1/2 mile from the So Cal coast, that helps, it was a blistering 80 degrees earlier this week but we muddled through.

I remember back in the 2003 heatwave you had thousands of people mainly elderly dying in Europe all because they didn’t have air conditioning in the old folk homes. They didn’t believe in it. They didn’t want to cause “global warming” and as a bonus they believed a few useless eaters dying is good for the planet.
One week ago it was 104F in north central Texas. If some moron commie doesn’t want to use it’s HVAC when it is cold or hot outside that is the nut job’s concern. But do not even think for a second I am turning mine off - at least until autumn really kicks in and we have low humidity and mild temperatures when I open up all the windows!
I guess I could use open windows and fans, but the cost of removing black mold would be astronomical. I’m sitting typing this in A/C and the wife is bathing in our 88 degree pool.
To the WaPo author:
Listen, you holier-than-thou jerk. If you think that not having AC is a good thing, then stop using it, but don’t jam your global warming religion down the rest of our throats. There are many, many more things wrong with the world than AC, and most of the are caused by smug jerks like yourself.
If you really believed that CO2 is a serious environmental danger, you would cease your own production of it.

Good for you, Karen. Just stay in your sweat box. No one cares. We will enjoy comfort of AC, thank you very much.
I bet that is BS.
Bully for you, Karen “Sweathog”.
;^)
Dear Karen:
I live in the Valley of the Sun in central Arizona. You are stupid.
Sincerely,
kcb
They should retire to France.
No matter what the weather does, as sure as September follows August, I am confident that the gubmint will declare this August the hottest August evah.
I could not live in Florida without air conditioning. We have three seasons, each four months long. They are called the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
By the way, I don’t buy the claim that July was the hottest month on record. The global warming group has cried wolf so many times and subsequently been caught doctoring or using false information that I don’t trust anything they say.
Karen go to Arizona, Texas or Death Valley w/o AC and shove it up where the sun don’t shine.
More trash from humanity-hating libs. The enormous boon air-conditioning has been on human achievement can never be ignored. From longer work hours, less vacation time, healthier minds and bodies...
Who can forget the elderly French who died so horrifically in their non-air-conditioned homes a few years ago when their kids were on holiday?
Bet she conditions the air with heat in the winter.
