as a climate advocate in the Northeast US who used to shit on a/c as being bad for the planet: THIS. ENDORSED
I was wrong, a/c is essential to human flourishing. giving people heat pumps that can heat and cool efficiently is climate action
we've done this now every weekend and i think your default should always be skepticism

The main reason I’ve become such a “air conditioning is an essential life saving technology” advocate is because I was horrified to find out how many people seem to think that letting millions die during heat waves without it is better “for the greater good” of slowing climate change.

There is a certain kind of environmental advocate for whom you can barely scratch their surface and find a very classist eugenicist.
Urban dwellers and the disadvantaged are non-entities in their plans.
We should be *encouraging* more cities, the per-person impact is dramatically reduced.
