    So when you get out in the morning to go to work your car is flat because someone left an appliance on.

    If you knew how much energy goes into air conditioning large buildings you'd be horrified!
    I still have large shopping centres were we don't have economy cycles on the air handlers, ie the outside air dampers don't open at a set temp and RH to get free cooling!
    And heating in a sub tropical area is still electric re-heat. I'm talking hundreds of kw of heaters. (we are quoting reverse cycle chillers, but the total cost will go over 7 figures)

    Air-con and heat-stress deaths

    I wish these complex matters were simpler - but they're not.
    The first thing is the category - premature deaths. So many of those who die are already weakened - old or very young, or sick - and some of those would die in the relatively soon predictable future anyway.
    Another feature is that again, some of those that die will be sick because they're poor - and therefore, not have access to air-conditioning.

    That the human-race with access to air-conditioning is getting softer - not doubted.
    That those well-fed humans with habituated access to air-con would be more prone to dying of heat-stress - probably a much rarer connection than existing infirmity of the old-age/young-age/underfed/existing illness suite.

    Welcome to 'it ain't simple' (and please suspect anyone who says it is!)

    Yes, it's quite simple - complex matters aren't simple.
