Yes it is, I had to change desks at my old office because it was too cold.

Aircon is the basis of the development of most of the southern states of the USA. For example Texas, which brought us George W.Bush.

Despise the air conditioner? Regulate it to a suitable temperature or request that it be switched off! Condition the air as per your requirements!

So you feel cold in your office? Instead of complaining put on a jumper! Thats what I used to do in my old office. Now we have moved to a non a/c office and it is baking even with windows open and fans going and theres nothing we can do about it!

Yes it is! It is a main cause of Greenhouse effect and Ozone decomposition. It releases CFCs in atmosphere.

Nope. It's very useful in hot countries. It's just a problem if you don't turn it off when it reaches October in England!

That depends on where you are from and who is controlling the temperature, and what your criteria for a good invention is.
