    85-90 degree heat

    It’s 2024, these temperatures in summer would be a delight, but that’s not what we have to deal with. We’re seeing months straight of highs in the high 90s, sometimes breaking triple digits (which will only become more common).

    • There’s a big difference between using AC to go from 100 to 85-90 than using AC to go from 85-90 to 65. I should elaborate that AC is fine to protect against full on this-is-fine. I’m against people using AC to go from uncomfortable heat to ~60, not people going from dangerous heat to uncomfortable heat.

        Why is it acceptable for people to heat from -40°F to 70°F (a 110°F difference) but not acceptable for people to cool from 110°F to 80°F (a 30°F difference)? Do you also argue that people in blizzards should only heat just above freezing?
