COOL | Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air-Conditioned City

While “summer in the city” may conjure up images of sweaty subway cars, in reality New York’s summers are actually a lot cooler than one might think.

Join author and environmentalist Stan Cox, named one of The Atlantic‘s “Brave Thinkers” in 2012, for a talk about the costs and benefits of New Yorkers’ growing reliance on climate control.
