As a sweltering heat wave grips the Big Apple, a recent comment from Princeton University professor Mahmood Mamdani has sparked outrage among New Yorkers. Mamdani, an expert on global issues, suggested that residents set their air conditioning units to 78 degrees to conserve energy and reduce the strain on the power grid. However, in a city where temperatures have soared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, many are questioning the professor's advice, arguing that it's unrealistic and even life-threatening for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children. The heat wave has already led to power outages and emergency declarations, and Mamdani's comments have reignited a heated debate over energy conservation and public safety.
