No, I'm not. That's what it boils down to, and that's what people
don't understand.
There are many means of dealing with heat other than air-con.
The only way to remove heat is with refrigeration. The only way to
remove cold is with heating.
The fundamental difference between the two is that buildings and
people produce heat continuously, which must be removed, no matter
what the weather is like. This means that you can keep people warm
just by insulating them, but you cannot keep them cool without some
form of active cooling. You can survive without any type of heating
even at -80° C if you are wearing the right clothing, but you cannot
survive for more than a few minutes at +80° C unless you have active
cooling systems to remove heat.
What part of the world population needs the ability to survive at +80C
or +176 F?
