Edison and Westinghouse duked it out commercially over the best process for transmitting electricity over great distances, without which the actual inventor of air conditioning, Willis Carrier, wouldn’t even have been a footnote in history.
If hvac had never been developed, we would have adapted to various weather patterns. Now it is too late. If we lost it the amount of crying would increase humidity beyond belief and the moaning would be impossible to bear. Talk about migrations.

The only thing of significance that Edison invented was the R and D lab, who did the actual inventing he patented for himself (often didn’t pay them).
