If it weren't for your second paragraph I'd have assumed you were being sarcastic. :/

- eevilspock 4y agoSee my other reply. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32119221 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32119221 Agreed that there is often an elitist liberal holier than thou dynamic at work. But that doesn't make the issue a non-issue. If you want to sink a knife into liberal virtue signaling and hypocrisy, I will twist that knife. But let's please not conflate things. I also find your "anti-humanist" label completely unfair and prejudiced by your ideas of what is better for humanity.
- rayiner 4y agoI don’t disagree we can turn up the thermostat. At my house, we are at 73-74 on the summer. And we bought slightly undersized heat pumps which operate continuously (and more efficiently) on a typical day but are insufficient on the hottest 10-20 days of the year. This is so my kids will know at least a little bit of adversity, more than for environmental reasons, but still. But messaging has a way of being simplified, and “anti-AC” is really the wrong tack.
