    I get what you’re saying but heaters are way worse than air conditioners in terms of emissions. People in New England getting diesel fuel — branded as “heating oil” — deliveries in winter isn’t questioned in the same way as Phoenix residents running their (electric) A/C is.

    The American Southwest has been continuously inhabited for millennia. I don’t live there but I know I get lectured about where I live — New Orleans — by smug fools whose framework for understanding the world seems to come entirely from the Grasshopper and the Ant fable where preparing for winter makes you morally superior to everyone else.
