Longnshort,
Klinenberg went on to propose a rule that would make it illegal for businesses to set their thermostats below 70 degrees, arguing such actions “might well be necessary if we can’t turn down the dial on our own.”
Anyone who cools their home below 70 degrees is either crazy or does it for health-relation conditions.

If an office is cooled below 70 degrees, there's either a valid business reason for it (e.g. an electronics fab) or the air conditioning is malfunctioning.

In other words, few people blast the AC to this extreme.

This NYU professor thinks he's coming up with a bold idea to combat what he calls the "indisputable, irreverable damage generated from air conditioners," but all he's doing is contributing to global warming with a mouthful of hot air.
