CNN must have been feeling left out of all the dumbest takes on Twitter for some reason today because they put out an op-ed so stupid we’re not seeing anyone agree with it. The writer thinks it’s ‘self-indulgent’ to use air conditioning when it’s hot.
No. Really.
Fine then, this editor is super self-indulgent because BRING ON THE AC, BABY.
“It is self-indulgent to insist on chilly temperatures in the middle of summer,” writes Paul Hockenos on how America can break its dangerous infatuation with air conditioning. https://t.co/1zR0nkqqDo

From CNN:
It is self-indulgent to insist on chilly temperatures in the middle of summer and rooms at t-shirt warmth in winter. The donning of sweaters indoors when it’s cold outside, not because the AC is cranked up so high, is surely a habit one can adapt to.
Right now, conservation is the order of the day: to save our planet and deny Russian President Vladimir Putin his energy stranglehold of Europe.
Repeat after us: GET BENT.
"Eat bugs and sweat" is how the media continues to pursue its climate change agenda. Is it any wonder people aren't sold on the whole idea of changing behaviors?

Right?
This does not sound like a healthy or even safe way to live.
Pass.
This was written by someone typing in an air conditioned room….

Probably.
Sounds like Paul is admitting that summers are hot. So, weather.

Right? Who knew? Summers get hot.
Feel free to sit your happy ass in a room that is 93°, Paul. No one is stopping you but stop trying to guilt us into joining you. I will continue to keep my house at 68° year-round, tyvm.

Now you’re talkin’.
we love getting ratioed by our non viewers should be the title

Heh.
That would work for many, many of their pieces.
They want us sweating in grass huts in the summer and shivering in caves in the winter and eating bugs. The answer is no.
— Daniel Lee (@RealDanLee) July 22, 2022
Not only no but HELL NO.
If Climate Change Cultists REALLY believed in their own religion, they would exist like a cave hermit and leave the rest of us the fock alone.

Kerry and his private jet.
Al Gore and his private jet.
Yup.
You live where the average summer high is 76 degrees.
Piss off.

So as you can see, this did NOT go well for this CNN op-ed writer.
At.
All.
