The case against air conditioning.

Stan, I was there before everybody had air conditioning, including a couple of the midwestern houses I lived in. I spent part of the summer of 2003 in spottily-air-conditioned Europe during a heat wave that killed thousands, and sent my wife into a hospital with seizures. You know what, Stan? Screw you. And I mean that in the politest possible sense.

To his credit, unlike so many estate-dwelling yacht owners lecturing us on resources, Cox lives in a humble home, presumably without air conditioning. This is offset, however, by the news that he regularly travels to India. I assume he doesn't take a bicycle.

Here's another piece by Cox touting economic destruction for the good of Gaia.
