If you live further north you use less energy for air conditioning but more for heat.
I suppose one could migrate back and forth but that uses energy as well.
My God...
Freon has been recognized as an ozone-destroying agent forever and hasn’t been used as a heat transfer medium for decades. The author describes his “crusade” to eliminate Freon from the hands of a few people on the Internet secondary market (for profit) as a holy calling to change the hearts and minds of the climate skeptics. What utter garbage.
Houston is the fourth largest city in the US.
I would bet a month's salary that neither one of these "yahoos" would ever give up their air conditioning to go back to the conditions we all used to live and work in.
It's easy to write and talk about it, but walking the walk versus talking the talk is two different things.
I bet Danny Crichton has A/C while he wrote this article.
How about Yahoo practice what they preach and turnoff all the A/C to their Server Farms? Rest assured they will be down very quickly.
Leftist are the most f*cked up people on the planet. They are the biggest threat to the planet.
Notice no one on Yahoo can reply to this hypocrite. When they remove the replies to an article. This tells us pretty much everyone strongly disagrees with this clown.
They can’t handle the heat. Pun intended...
I’m sure his book was written in the comfort of his air conditioned home.
Please FRmail me to be added to or removed from my very irregular ping list.
Y’know...
... there really IS BS that’s just TOO deep to glorify with a click.
These idiots don’t deserve anyone consume a single syllable of their drivel. They deserve wholesale scorn and mockery.
This mindset on display with the anti A/C crowd reminds me of wise words that should echo throughout all their lives; “Stupid should hurt”
The inventor of AC should be made a saint.
Articles such as this are printed for a reason. To prepare minds for what the left is planning to do. In this case, put severe controls on AC. After that, taxes. After that, ban it. (Except for the ruling elite like gore, bamm, gates, soros, pelosi).
Just another bullshit article.
Can we start by taking the AC away from DC?
If the politicians and other government leeches didn’t have Air conditioning, the world would be a better place.
Come to think of it, this might be why the Supreme Court used to meet in the basement of the US Capitol.
The little twerp lives in Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY where summer temperatures get as high as 85.
We wake up in the mornings at 85. Let’s see the little twerp last one day in TX at 110+ degrees before calling Uncle and begging for an a/c.
I f'ing HATE THE NOISE!!!
I’m in Upstate NY. Used a small $15.00 turbo fan instead of air conditioning last year and this year. I’m 77. Never had ac until 1984. Figure I sc****** the utility company out of a few bucks.
“Our choice of frigid cooling emits flagrant quantities of greenhouse gas emissions,...”
Give me a friggin break. This nitwit wants to eliminate refrigeration? Bye, bye freezers, refrigerators, home HVAC, automotive HVAC, and any other devices that use a refrigeration system. There are what; 36+ different refrigerants utilized in today’s society including ammonia?
This dude/dudette is nothing more than an educated idiot. Why don’t you look into the destructive nature of the halons then get back with me dumbazz.
Give me an R-12 system any day of the week and I’ll make you so cold you’ll be whining about it.
Without air conditioning the southwest would be unbearable. Enjoying its benefits right now.
From my comfortably cold dead hands.
I grew up without AC. It was some hot miserable summer nights covered with sweat trying to sleep I remember most. This was in the 50s and 60s before GoreBull worming. Nothing has changed…..including the high tide line at my favorite boat ramp.
You can have my AC when you pry it from my dead COLD hands.
