Love how they always say “the experts” but never mention what fucking experts they are.
Give me some names instead of just saying “some expert said it”
The “Experts” are flying all over the world in their private jets, emitting more pollution than I do in a year
Greta Thunberg probably does too, with all the places she speaks and demonstrates at. I’m not going to take issue with it though because her whole thing is advocacy and protest. Just the same, I’m not going to take issue with scientists going to conferences, where they discuss the latest climate science and green technologies and projections, and issue joint statements calling for changes.

These aren’t the scientists telling you that you’ll just get used to the heat.
It’s a climate solution because using your A/C less uses less energy
Actually using your AC is one thing, incorrectly disposing of it and the gases therein is another thing all together. A ton of the refrigerating gasses in an AC (or your fridge or freezer) is equivalent of up to 22,800 tons of CO2.

Interesting! I’ve never thrown one away and always sold it to the next person so I never looked into this
Yeah actually it’s not even so much about the humans. Humans can deal with changing temperatures. Plants (that we eat) cannot.
Wet bulb temp of 95° F is the start of deadly heat for humans. That’d be about 109° @ 50% humidity, or 130° with dry air. I’d say it’ll be a crap shoot next year, when El Nino is in full swing, whether we see more crop or human death from the heat. But for a glorious moment, we created a lot of value for the shareholders…
THIS IS FINE!
Well a quick search found this…

Basically the air is warmer and wetter so the human body cannot shed heat.
A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research
