Committee To Unleash Prosperity: Here’s the latest climate-change madness from The New York Times:
As scientist Roger Pielke Jr. aptly puts it: “NYT is big mad that people around the world are becoming rich enough to have air conditioners.”
Here in reality, rising temperatures will actually reduce energy use, because heating is much more energy intensive than cooling.
Pielke Jr. Continued: “Global energy demand for heating is abt an order of magnitude larger than for cooling As planet warms projected decrease in energy demand for heating is ~5x larger than projected increase due to more cooling. …
Using increased energy consumption, as the NYT does, as an indication of something bad happening is profoundly Malthusian and even anti-human (or at least, anti-poor people getting rich)

The Times should be ashamed of its efforts to deny poor people in the rest of the world the creature comforts like AC, that we take for granted in America.
