LETTER: Getting steamed over air-conditioned vehicles

Doing errands today in 27-degree heat for about an hour around Saanich/Victoria, we saw most cars with windows rolled up, which means the air conditioning was in use.

Doing errands today in 27-degree heat for about an hour around Saanich/Victoria, we saw most cars with windows rolled up, which means the air conditioning was in use.

Are south Island drivers so wealthy they can afford to be unconcerned about: using all that extra very expensive gas to run the a/c? Doing so at less than highway speeds, meaning engines are working inefficiently? Spewing all that unnecessary carbon into our often breezy, otherwise clean air?

Or perhaps itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s just they donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t want to mess up their hair by rolling down some windows?

ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s dismaying and disturbing to see such lack of concern by a population reputed to care about good health. Give them a thought when our next heat dome arrives B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·” this isnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t Arizona, folks.
