#1 Not having them now whould make me want to destroy the whole world. You stupid idiot limo riding worthless assholes.

Part of being back here is air conditioning, can't you get that you barbarian?

This is why we cannot have nice things.

#3 Farmers should pay CO2 emitters for their airborne plant food.

CO2 makes no difference to temperature. Air pressure does.

#4 On a recent vacation in southern Germany, the tour guide was bragging the Germans had shut down the nukes and the people were heating their homes with 'sustainable' firewood.

Like the House Hunters International show about a climate-change grad student delighted that one of her choices for a dwelling in Europe included a wood-burning stove. Whaddaya think the smoke smell comes from, sweetheart?

Good thing they have non-CO2-producing firewood in Germany! (sarc) Especially compared to non-CO2-producing nuclear plants.

#5 Think about it for a second and the Baseline need for electricity, lots of electricity, in a typical American home will be in (1) keeping the food cold (freezer and/or kitchen fridge) and the (2) climate control of the living spaces.
There is an entire industry in shelf stable milk processing, UHT pasteurization, because they want to avoid the infrastructure necessary to keep milk cool. The question is at what level the central authority can decide whether you can be cool, or not, right?

#6 A few years ago there was a summer heat wave in France that left approx 14000 elderly Parisians dead (that an that fact that all the care-takers go for a month long holiday in August). Air-conditioners were very heavily restricted in Paris at the time.

#7 Imagine how much money (for refugees) the French analog of social security saved, Pheresing Gloque4764.

#8 In my humble opinion, people who live in the southern US should have a small shrine in their homes dedicated to Willis Carrier, the inventor of modern air conditioning. Without him the South would not be as populated as it is today.

#9 Also, as for "renewable" woodstove for heating: using wood for heating is only renewable if a FEW people do it. If everyone used wood, the German forests would be gone in a few years. Also, the problem with using wood for heat isn't really just the CO2,it's all the other things in the smoke. Again, if only a few people use wood, it's not a huge deal. As more and more people do, the smoke will become a huge problem - real pollution, not CO2.

#10 You're thinking of London's famous pea soup fogs, Rambler?

In a similar vein, Mr. Wife has described sitting at the back of his hotel lobby in Istanbul during the winter, back in the 1980s, seeing the pollution in the outside air dilute as it got farther from the front door. In those days, and probably still now, soft lignite coal was commonly used as heating fuel.

#11 England used to be heavily forested. Granted that a lot of that heating was done for forges and the like but the still burned it clean until they started using coal.

Greenies are ignorant idiots for the most part.

#13 So turn them off. Start with Facebook, Twitter, and Apple to set a good example. Expand to Congress and the letter agencies.
