    It’s normal to use AC for billions of people already, so it is a solution to our reality as it is.

    A solution would end the problem. AC does not do that. In fact it is the opposite since heavier AC use leads to higher energy use which ultimately means more greenhouse gasses.

    It’s a band aid. It allievates the symptoms, and only for those who can afford it.

    The solution is to end our production of greenhouse gasses.

    If your grid is overloaded, get some solar panels and make your own power off-grid. If your air conditioner breaks, buy another one or keep a spare one on hand. That’s what the fuck I’m gonna do, because AC is great and I love having it.

    Not everybody can afford that.
