In Buffalo, New York, on July 17, 1902, in response to a quality problem experienced at the Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing & Publishing Company of Brooklyn, Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what became recognized as the world's first modern air conditioning system. The 1902 installation marked the birth of air conditioning because of the addition of humidity control, which led to the recognition by authorities in the field that air conditioning must perform four basic functions: 1.) control temperature; 2.) control humidity; 3.) control air circulation and ventilation; 4.) cleanse the air.

One wise man who improved the lives of so many. I for one am grateful to his enterprise and ingenuity.

Obama would tell him “you didn’t build that air conditioner” and the liberal fool Rosenthal is telling us “you don’t deserve that air conditioner”.

Yep, that’s the man. From time to time I inquire of people as to who Willis Carrier) was? And you know, almost no one knows. I suppose they think that a/c just magically appeared in American life.
