We don’t need an egghead to tell our family about the environment, climate change, blah, blah, blah.
We haven’t turned on the AC yet, and are doing pretty good. Yes it’s hot, and our friend think we’re crazy.
But when you live in a windy area and you use your fans to direct air into your house on the correct side of the house when the sun isn’t shining in and heating it up, you can keep your temps down.
I really really really like my $73 electric bill, just don’t care to enrich the electric company this year. You get used to it. What the heck did humanity do before this? But heck no, nope, I really don’t need them telling me why I shouldn’t cool my house, this is my Galt thing :)

What fools fall for this quasi-religious bull!
Let’s make a surprise visit to Mr Cox’s house on some 95 degree afternoon and see what we find comfort-wise.And for that matter let’s see if we see three Land Rovers parked next to the Prius in the driveway.
Whats wrong with this idiot?
Lets unplug his refrigerator too
When the elderly die from laws passed regulating the devices that keep them alive and comfortable - In France and soon in the US - ....
.... It’s no accident.
It should be. The Washington Post should go first, set an example, and give up their AC!
As a matter of fact, our home AC gave up its ghost early last Tuesday morning, and my computer did NOT enjoy the 100-degree temperatures in my home office. It's unlikely that the author would be able to write stories like that without air conditioning.
I have an type of environmental asthma that is triggered by hot stuffy environments, severely limiting the venues I can participate in and making AC an absolute requirement.
Guys like this author are at the top of my list of people the world doesn't need.
You mean this is NOT from the Onion?
NOW I know where “all the scientists have a consensus” came from.
Al Gore was reading the Onion and they were making fun of him. He just didn't realize it. He figured the Onion knew a lot more than the 31,000 scientists that say AGW is a scam http://www.petitionproject.org/.
Maybe that's where he found out that it's “several million degrees” 2km beneath the Earth's surface.
Start with the government. If there are a few months a year where the Congressional chambers and offices and other government offices are not inhabitable, then the country will be far safer (Pentagon excepted because the DoD is actually necessary).
No, that would be encroachment on a natural habitat. Suicide is better for Gaia.
I’d support a bill to shut off all A/C in the District of Columbia for two years, as a test.
What else would one expect to see in the WaPo.
The WaPo comments were encouraging. I think there were only one or two supporters, the rest told him to go to hell ! Lots of people picked up on the obvious progressive-solicalist-green agenda, and many people suggested Washington DC turn theirs of first.
Don't give 0bamao's goons any new ideas on how to kill off Senior Citizens. They already have a Death Panel that has their name.
We added a window unit to our bedroom to get it down to 65F. I feel no guilt whatsoever.
The need to shut down the air conditioning in Congress and the White House. That might slow down their socialist agendas.
OK, let Congress and the federal government take the lead and show us an example by turning AC off in all of their buildings.
When we bought our house last summer, we didn’t think we needed AC. Neither of us had lived with it before. Yes, it gets hot in the Philly suburbs, but we thought we’d weather through it. We’re going to put it in this fall (because of other work we’re having done, it doesn’t make sense to do it before). We dive into our AC bedroom and basically live there and try not to go out in the rest of the house. It’s not a way to live. To top it all, we got infested with fleas this summer and are working at getting them out. The only relief I get from the itchy bites is to retreat in air. This man is SOO full of it. If he’s not married, then he should stay single.
CO2 is good for plants and has no greenhouse effects. So crank up the AC.
Pray for America
While this buffoon types from his air conditioned office
