"Air-conditioning makes us feel better, but it's hurting the planet."

How much you wanna bet she typed that sentence in the comfort of an air conditioned office?

One more time liberals: if YOU want to live in a teepee, wear animal skins, and eat berries, I will not stop you. But, I have yet to see very many of you living this “perfect” lifestyle you want for the rest of us. Go do it for a year and report back on how wonderful it is and then the rest of us will evaluate and decide if we want it.

Its always funny how they recommend primitive lifestyles from their offices in big northeastern cities. Actually, its not funny—it’s hypocritical!

And how many people living in New York City, Chicago and other “northern” cities is she willing to have die during summer heat waves once the airconditioning she railes against is turned off? And does she actually think about that?

These libs are always good at telling everyone else what to do, but I’d bet he’d never turn of HIS a/c. I want him to come down South and try his line, ha ha ha.

Projections of air-conditioning use are daunting. In 2007, only 11 percent of households in Brazil and 2 percent in India had air-conditioning, compared with 87 percent in the United States, which has a more temperate climate, said Michael Sivak, a research professor in energy at the University of Michigan.

Well come down here to Alabama, you iced-Yankee wolverine idiot! It ain't so temperate, fool! Turn off all the Michigan A/C for all I care, but you ain't messin' with Dixie's!!!!!

Will she turn her heat off in the Winter, too? Only makes sense. There’s a carbon footprint associated with that.

Those 3 articles of blather labeled “Fact 1,” “Fact 2,” and “Fact 3” are no more factual than 99% of the stuff that comes out of Obummer’s pie hole!

Why not be accurate and label them CLAIM 1, CLAIM 2 AND CLAIM 3?

Just like with Algore, I will consider shutting off my A/C right after you refuse to work in a air-conditioned office on the hottest summer days. Until then, I will use my A/C, SUV and incandescent light bulbs.

If and/or when she washes that nasty looking hair I'm sure it takes plenty of heated water to clean it. In other words she needs to mind her own damn business!

well.. alright.. it’s suppose to get in to the 40’s tonight. I guess I could turn it off and open a window.

But if it gets above 68 in the house tomorrow. It comes back on!

The sacrifices we make to “save mother earth” I tell ya...

The Environmental Protection Agency says that climate change will increase the use of air-conditioning because it will lead to more hot days and heat waves.

How noble of her. It’s like she donated a kidney to a stranger. What a humanitarian. Maybe she’ll get the Nobel prize for grandstanding.

Fact 1: Nearly all of the world’s booming cities are in the tropics and will be home to an estimated one billion new consumers by 2025.

Thus creating a huge market for our coal industry and a very positive impact on our trade balance, while improving the standard of living of one billion people.

Probably the worst thing about running your air conditioner is that there is probably a NWS temperature station next to it.

[Fact 3: Scientific studies increasingly show that health and productivity rise significantly if indoor temperature is cooled in hot weather. So cooling is not just about comfort.]

I worked in two different medium security prisons in two different jurisdictions during the 1990’s. At both facilities the temperature was kept constantly in the low 60’s. I was told this had a positive effect on inmate temperament and slowed the spread of germs and viruses.

Reading this brings to mind the thousands of Europeans who died during that heat wave a few years back. Do you remember?
Much of Europe don’t have air conditioning. Thousands died.
So far I haven’t seen the death count caused by global warming, just yada yada yada and “our planet is doomed.”
