Lots of places wouldnt have habitable without AC. No way in hell Arizona would be as big as advanced as it is without AC.

They didnt, hence ACs were invented.

I live in a place that is 90+ degrees Fahrenheit 8 months out of the year.

I would straight just pack what I could fit in my car and drive north if I couldn't use AC.

The terrible thing is that global warming makes AC more and more necessary in many places.
What we really need to do is clean up our power grid: solar, wind, and nuclear need to become the base of our global power grid, and we need to reconfigure our grids to best cater to their needs. We can't stop burning carbon soon enough, but late is better than never.

Depends on where you live tbh.

Places like the desert need to focus heavy on solar power

Places like Ohio and their wind farms

Places like the great lakes region need to focus on Hydro Electric.

Nuclear can subsidize the rest.

Back in the 1900s when places like Arizona were settled, the earth was 5f cooler, as someone who lived in Arizona for 33 years, that makes absolutely no difference and I seriously don't know how people lived in Arizona without A/C. 105 and 110 are awful and miserable and both will kill you.

A shit ton of things are bad for the planet and it's possible that it's too late or getting there. If change needs to happen, it needs to happen on a systematic level, the individual level helps but there needs to be a major shift. I did my job of being a consumer, paying for a product I liked, and using it legally to my convenience. The fact that it was available for me to purchase in its current earth-damaging form is the thing to be looked at.

Generally people lived where their bodies were most adjusted to the climate. White people lived in cooler climates, darker people who have more sun/heat resistance lived where it's warmer.

Not sure how the early settlers of the southwestern US survived 110 degree heat spells though.

Only time I've ever had AC was in college.

I lucked out and ended up not having a roommate in the dorms, so I never used the window-mounted AC unit. Moved into a house with some friends sophomore year through graduation, and they insisted on using the AC constantly. I hated it.

Turn on a fan, drink water, and let yourself sweat like your body is designed to.

There are tons of ways to cool buildings without AC, we just don't use them anymore since AC is now standard.
