I grew up in Georgia. We never had air conditioning - beyond an oscillating table fan.

The days were all hot in the summer, but life went on as usual. People went to school (which weren’t air conditioned either), and to work, and about their daily chores and didn’t know the difference.

We’d go to the river and take a dip to cool off, or sit underneath the shady canopy of a Chinaberry tree.

But with today’s crop - who stay indoors, playing video games in a cooled 72 degree room in the middle of summer, going outside must seem like hell’s punishment to them. And, there’s just GOT to be a reason...I know, the earth is warming.

Now, why is it warming? We’re no closer to the sun, it must be “man made”....but how? I know, too many cars, airplanes, and farting cows. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Hey, we could turn this into something to make money with...tax everyone for their daily output of CO2. Yeah.

We’ll tell them that only we know how to prevent the demise of the earth from this change in climate, and they should entrust us with all the power and money needed to do so.

For the rich, who don’t want to give up anything, we’ll let them buy “credits”, which totally excuses them from being blamed for polluting.

Oh boy, we’re gonna be rich, because of air conditioning...they are so brainwashed, they think the temperature inside, and the temperature outside, should be exactly the same...forever...season in, and season out...day in and day out.

There will be some who try to tell the truth, but we’ll the get media to join with us and vilify them as “deniers”, implying that they are evil and stupid.

Hey, man, we’re going t live like kings...have corporate jets, 22 room, air conditioned mansions, and an SUV for every day of the week.

Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? Oh yes, we didn’t have air conditioning back then.
