At one point it proposes that building managers might be setting thermostats too low because they’re “heavyset, as body fat is the ultimate heat insulator.” This has the science somewhat backward: Body fat is indeed an insulator, and that means that it prevents a person’s core body heat from seeping out into her skin. The wrongness of the essay doesn’t end with awkward stabs at neuroscience. Would it discombobulate the diencephalon to warm yourself beside the fire on a frigid night, or sip a steaming cup of cocoa? But the essay doesn’t tell us if these rapid shifts in temperature cause the same derangement during winter. How does this relate to air conditioning? A blast of cold, like you’d get when you walk into a chilled lobby on a summer day, “may feel good at first,” she writes, but the rapid shift in temperature can make “the hypothalamus go nuts, intensifying physical and psychological discomfort when the initial pleasure wears off.” I’ll admit that does sound pretty bad-no one wants a nutty hypothalamus. “ An outsider looking at our world would be amazed by such behavior,” he said. Last month, in his historic encyclical on the environment, Francis called out the “increasing use and power of air-conditioning” as cause for grave concern. Even the Pope has weighed in against this supposedly voluptuous, self-destructive spiral. When we turn air conditioning on to cool ourselves, we’re burning fossil fuels, which makes the planet hotter-and that means we’ll have to cool ourselves some more. AC isn’t just unnecessary, the cooling contras say, but an engine of apocalypse. The war on air conditioning, headquartered in the high-rent neighborhoods of coastal cities in the North, has lately grown more fervid. These people love to hate AC, and they drive me nuts. The article’s premise will be familiar to certain members of the paper’s demographic, for whom it’s self-evident that window units are not so much a source of comfort as a sign of gross indulgence.
