Powerful environmentalists want you to be sweaty, miserable, poor, and unfree in the name of saving the planet. Just look at how they talk about two of the wonders of the modern world: air conditioning and refrigeration.

“When it gets too hot, we lightly spray water on our arms, legs and faces; the water helps dissipate a lot of heat,” a New York Times essay by Stan Cox, the author of an anti-air-conditioning book creatively titled “I Swore Off Air-Conditioning, and You Can Too” suggests as an alternative to modern air-conditioning technology. Cox also advocates restricting dishwashers and even refrigeration, all in the name of adapting to global warming.
