No, it isn't nearly as effective, which is why A/C exists in the first
place.

If death awaits outside, what's the point?

I have. No real difference. It's too hot and humid outside.

Maybe that is how it is in your part of the world, but common sense
dictates that you have a method to extract the air from the house.

If you put a fan in the window, you can then have air move in or out,
depending on a combination of blade direction and shape. If you notice,
a fan doesn't create the air. Air comes in one side and goes out the
other. It would be a bit difficult to move air if the fan was only open
on one side.

Cold, in simple terms, is the absence of heat.
