Air-conditioning not only makes our indoors comfortable but also contributes to higher outdoor temperatures, creating a feedback loop that exacerbates the climate crisis.
Americans have become accustomed to chilly indoor environments, leading to discomfort in higher outdoor temperatures, which significantly impacts our ability to adapt to seasonal heat.
Research indicates that by spending more time in warm conditions, humans can train their bodies to handle temperatures that previously felt intolerable, reducing reliance on A.C.
Living without air-conditioning during milder heat can help revive our natural adaptability to climate variations, demonstrating that our capacity to cope hasn’t diminished.
