This isn't a climate solution. We can't "you do you" ourselves out of the climate crisis.
We need federal standards that protect workers from the heat, and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

@luckytran As a counterpoint though, if people could get more acclimated to using less air conditioning by setting their home temperature higher, it would help to reduce electricity usage.
We over air condition so much of America
pollinator stan@Wheresatom @luckytran architects here have been relying on air conditioning in their designs for like seventy years now. our buildings don't stay cool otherwise any more. some people really crank it but there’s a systemic reason why it’s such a staple in the "developed" u.s.
Tushar Chauhan@Wheresatom @luckytran This is absolutely true. The US is air-conditioned like it is automobile-d. Excessively and with utter indifference to the planet.
Alexander The 1st@Wheresatom @luckytran From what I recall, the sheer electricity usage of AC units, and how much hot air they pump out into the world, is collectively still much, much less than if we reduced carbon footprints with reduced internal combustion engine car usage, or reduced plane fuel usage, or a whole bunch of other, much more effective ways to reduce electricity usage.
