I lived in the tropics where it was hotter than the USA and we survived just fine without A/C. A/C is luxury and your luxury is destroying the planet. I don’t want you to stop using A/C but I would like people to accept that it is a luxury that is not needed in most cases.

There's times and places where you can't survive "just fine" without AC. And the number of those times and places is increasing.

Funny most of the world lives just fine without A/C. It really is an American thing.
