    AC (air-conditioning) is pretty bad for the environment, it seems pretty short-sighted to suggest it as a way of coping with climate change “let’s make sure we’re alright by making things worse for everyone else”.

      Yes… and no. They are quite efficient at heating when run in reverse, so much so that there are campaigns to replace gas boilers with them. Obviously, not running cooling (or heating) at all is better.
