"you shouldn't buy food because that means there's less food available"

If people don't have AC at all when temperatures are no longer livable, people will die. This is a dumb thing to guilt an entire population into.

It's a good discussion in prioritizing:

  • Urban design - reducing heat retaining materials and increasing greenery.
  • Support for home efficiency improvements - more efficient homes require less AC.
  • The type of AC we support - ground source heat pumps eliminate this problem (at the cost of increased up front cost that pays itself down).
