    Cooling uses much more energy than heating, which is why many Europeans prefer sweating for a few days over continuously suffering under the effects of global warming in the future.

This type of attitude in the U.S is looked on apathetically. We would love to "save the environment", but the reality is, most of us won't even go outside to protest because it's too uncomfortable. The reality of our social unrest is sad
