    No, I wouldn't be able to. Even though our heat doesn't last a very long time in Northern NY, it still becomes unbearable when it's even 80*F inside of a building when you're used to it being 68-70*F. I start to feel sick if I get too hot. I'd much rather deal with the cold than the heat. I would never be able to live in the south.

    I didn't turn the a/c on until the end of July this year and then through most of August.  I also only run it for about 12 hours a day during that time.  Could I live without a/c?  Probably, but to preserve the life of the refrigerator and other appliances, as well as my own sanity, I think it's best to run it.

    No, I can't. Temp goes well over 100 in my place, and it becomes unbearable. Also, because of COVID, there are no stations to go to in the city when the heat is oppressive.

    In Scotland we have about 5 days a year when you need a/c and about 200 you need heating. Guess what we spend our money on.

    Climate control systems in buildings are the number one cause of global climate change. If we want a more stable climate we need to turn off the AC during the summer and the furnaces in the winter. Staying at a comfortable temperature is not something that is natural.

    Many people live without AC.  Don't you think it kinda matters where you live?  The Pacific Northwest rarely needs AC.  The Valley of the Sun (Phoenix area) really needs AC.
