Considering how much of carbon emissions is from heating, we should pray for global warming so we can reduce our CO2 footprint. @jrireland1

only if there's no corresponding increase in cooling, which costs more energy per degree-day

It's proportional to the magnitude of heating/cooling, though. So running heat [0,50] is worse than [-25,25].

(traditional heating sources like wood/peat/dung are ofc. monumentally worse than AC)

those are biomass, though, and inherently carbon-neutral. better to compare burning coal with AC powered by coal plant.

Particulates + low-intensity combustion products = vastly vastly vastly worse.

perhaps so, but that is changing the subject away from carbon footprint

No, because there are combustion products that fix carbon in far worse GHG forms than CO2.

Also the effect of soot on albedo is fairly well understood.
