“’I saw so many buildings being constructed throughout the region and thought, if all those buildings installed air conditioners, it would seriously add to global warming,’ Ichigaya said.”
Sounds great until you get to the nuttery.
Believe my CAB’ed Nat’l Guard daughter (37/40 of the popups in Basic Training Record Fire!) wore air-conditioned clothing when she’d volunteer as M2 top gunner on a locally-armored HMMMV...
“Air-conditioned clothes!?!’’. Boy, I’ll tell ya’, the Japs sure can come up with some off-the-wall stuff. Sounds like a great idea.
***”People ask me, why would I want to wear a jacket when it’s so hot,” Ichigaya, a former Sony engineer, said. “I tell them, because it’s cooler than being naked.”***
My momma told me of an old man back in the 1930s Tennessee who wore wool long johns summer and winter.
His premise was..”If it will protect me from the cold in winter it will protect me from the heat in summer.”
Pinging Mom, should we see if they ship to the US?
