Polar Bear Survival Plan

I can understand that New York gets fairly hot in the summer, and so we need to have everything air conditioned. What I can't for the life of me get my head around, is why we have to air condition all buildings to polar temperatures (the same temperatures, mind you, that induce us to put on the heating in the winter).

As I sit in my office huddled in the cardigan I've started keeping at work, I've been thinking more and more about this perversity in our behaviour.

I do believe it would help the polar bear survival rate immeasurably, if they would only migrate from the melting ice caps to NYC office buildings for the summer.
