I have absolutely no problems with AC when necessary, but I do have problems with unnecessary energy consumption in a warming planet.

I do not think AC preference has anything to do with political beliefs, and I despise the "us and them" tribal mentality.

But that circles back to my original comment: Should people use only the absolutely minimum heating needed to survive, or is it okay if they have some comfort also?

You can survive the winter in a house with a 5 centigrade temperature by putting on a lot of clothing and continuously drinking hot tea, huddling together under thick blankets. So would you have a problem with those who heat their houses more than that on this warming planet?
