Why can’t these nags just mind their own business?
A scientist is calling for Americans to cut off air conditioning after refusing to use it for 25 years during the throes of the summer in order to combat climate change.
Stan Cox is an Ecosphere Fellow at the Land Institute who also believes the U.S. military is an “enemy” to mitigating climate change. He wrote a guest essay in the New York Times on Saturday, “I Swore Off Air-Conditioning, and You Can, Too,” claiming that “air-conditioning is making our summers even hotter” due to climate change.
“The greenhouse gases created by the roughly 90 percent of American households that own A.C. units mean that running them even in balmy temperatures is making the climate crisis worse,” Cox wrote.
Yeah yeah yeah. You do you. Leave the rest of us alone. Of course, you know that these cultists want to get the government to force people to turn the AC off, or, at least keep it at a much higher temperature.
For those who might say it’s a drastic step that’s too far, Cox believes that they’ll get used to living without AC.
“Our species evolved, biologically and culturally, under wildly varying climatic conditions, and we haven’t lost that ability to adapt. Research suggests that when we spend more time in warm or hot summer weather, we can start feeling comfortable at temperatures that once felt insufferable. That’s the key to reducing dependence on air-conditioning: The less you use it, the easier it is to live without it,” he said.
Piss off. No one asked for your opinion or advice.
So changing refrigeration chemicals to less efficient ones was just a waste of time & money, once again?
Had enough of “scientists”.
no. that was done to reduce the ozone hole over the Antarctic. lots of ac units there you know.
Cue gratuitous post from Jeff: No one is coming for your AC. Dead children is just the price we pay for being comfortable in our own homes.
Don’t forget: The US is the only advanced country willing to kill it’s children so MAGOT millionaires can stay cool.
Mr LGB! is confused.
The US is the only advanced nation willing to murder its children in schools so “men” can play Army.
BTW lads, Viagra is cheaper than an AR-15 and DOESN’T kill children. On the other hand, Corvettes cost way more than Viagra OR an AR-15.
The Alabama Supremes declared that 2- to 8-cell early embryos are unborn children or persons, crippling the IVF clinics in Alabama. As many as half the embryos formed in the fallopian tubes do NOT implant in the uterine lining, i.e., nature or the gods murder them!! Every day American women unknowingly flush unimplanted embryos down the toilet or toss them in the waste can. What are you doing to save them???
I’m confused? Yet you post a stupid statement like that? BTW hypocrite, did you sell your AR-15s yet or are you still playing Army? Or are you planning to kill children?
The problem with you commies is you can’t walk the walk.
What on earth does Viagra or Corvettes have to do with it? Another silly rant from a psychotic commie.
As I told you before, I have no AR-15s or AR-15 style rifles.
And the name calling! Commie? At least I’m not an “abortionist”.
Insecure “men” use AR-15s, Viagra and Corvettes to feel like real men.
Chicken Little Karen Man
The US is the only advanced nation willing to murder its children in schools so “men” can play Army.
As in other cases, the shooter is a disturbed individual who was known by the FBI. But despite all the laws restricting gun rights, they failed to act. Guess they were too busy investigating Trump.
The Alabama Supremes declared that 2- to 8-…..
Don’t like it? Then change it. See the US Constitution Amendment 10 for more directions.
Lil Ol’ Shithead,
What laws in Georgia restrict guns, LOL?
Not sure I can change a ruling by the AL Supremes.
In Missouri, the citizens are attempting to reverse the total ban on abortions here. Should citizens be able to democratically overrule the laws constructed by the legislature?
Other “advanced” nations have abortion laws consistent with Roe v Wade.
Most “advanced” states have abortion laws consistent with Roe v Wade.
Countries such as Bahrain, Brunei, Burundi, Congo, Djibouti, East Timor, Egypt, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Vatican, Venezuela, Yemen are about as strict as Missouri’s ban.
Less “advanced states” like Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia make abortions illegal except in some cases, to save the pregnant female from likely death.
Of course, A/C would NOT be contributing to global warming if the source of the electricity didn’t produce as much CO2!
Keep the A/C!! Cut the CO2!
Burning coal, oil and methane is used to generate electricity but also generates gaseous CO2 waste, which is released into the atmosphere. CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs heat released from the Earth warming the atmosphere, the lands and the oceans.
Perfesser Hate suggests opening your window thus letting your A/C cool the planet! Genius!! Clearly Perfesser Hate is not a perfesser of thermodynamics!! LOL.
Climate Scienticians: The Earth is getting warmer and will soon be unbearable.
Also Climate Scienticians: Get rid of your AC.
Just think about how much climate the government could fix if they just turned on the AC in all government buildings.
Were I a conspiracy theorist, I’d say that next the activists will demand special, internet connected thermostats that the government or local power company could remotely control in times of need.
Oh, wait . . . .
Oh, wait… don’t opt in to the programs. The power companies are trying to reduce brown-outs – the device companies are trying to sell more “smart” thermostats. The programs offer discounts on electricity, rebates or as Texas has done, entering into a lottery for free elecricity for a year!
Just say no.
Mr Teach dusts off his slur “warmists” to describe the beliefs of a single person, Stan Cox of the Land Institute. Cox is a crop plant geneticist, not a climate scientist and wrote an opinion piece for the NY Times. He’s entitled to his opinion as are all scolds, whether vegan, animal rightist, evangelical, cyclist, anti-gay, flat earth, etc, but his opinion doesn’t represent all who understand that global warming is a serious issue.
We can agree or disagree.
