Yes. I say this as a climate activist who lived in Bay and now Seattle areas where AC used to be superfluous and now is essential. Install heat pumps! Electrify everything and run cooling before your house builds up an unmanageable heat load.

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

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.
