Rather than A/C we need to retrofit for better-insulated buildings and plant more trees around homes, and apartments.

No intention to shame A/C users but to point out that other ways to keep properties warm in winter and cool in summer is to increase envelope insulation. A/C requires electricity. Demands are high. If Ford still wants to make electricity using fossil gas, we keep making the globe hotter.
