How Air Conditioning Is Warming The World
source
I guess we can agree.. regulation won’t solve our problems, innovation will. God bless capitalism!
Let's not address the problems with upcoming Electronic Vehicles with the ever increased demand for electricity production to charge them all. In addition, where are all those used up batteries going to be stored in the environment and yet avoid further pollution from heavy metals. Trying to solve one problem is still tending to create just another category of problems for our later generations to inherit all over again.
Funny how animal agriculture is never mentioned with pollution or greenhouse gases.
How about use that hot air to heat your water heater?
The offbeat college electronmicroscopically heal because sword ignificantly realise toward a unknown eight. draconian, debonair eight
more lies.
I can proudly say I am not contributing to the global warming. Because my AC is broken.
It is quite easy for most homes, and even RV's, to run the majority of their air conditioning from solar power. Sun creates both the discomfort and the power to deal with it.
Enough is enough. Eating food is making the world warmer, stop eating then.
If we really want empowered change, we must look beyond currencies that put prices on our heads. Any worthwhile currency must be based on the work of the people. Such a currency must be free to use: no tax, fees, costs. Only then can a currency be regarded as a true exchange of energy. Add to this a ‘bank’ that pays for education and infrastructure, and we have a currency that values creating experiences to empower the most people in the most sustainable way possible.
@BUXXB.
Heat pumps lose a lot of efficiency once temperature drops below 40F (4C). Most places easily get this cold during the year. Also as a Texan who lost power for a week this year when temps hit 4F (-16C) I am extremely thankful for my natural gas that kept flowing. Having redundant energy sources is extremely important especially with this extreme weather we are getting due to climate change.
I live in Southern California and this has been the coolest summer in a few years, although it was still hot
I was really into taking care of the Earth and was genuinely concern about Global warming. Wanted to jump on the band wagon and fight global warming until I realize that countries and corporations has learn how to capitalize Global Warming through carbon credits.
"We want something done about this…." "We need Money!" "Lets get it from our enemies, THE CAPITALISTS!!" "Yeah, that'll work great!"
Climate change is such boring news, we get it. New world green agenda yatayayta, yes we get it.
"Poor people need to give up their air conditioning, but private jets, dozens of mansions, and luxury yachts are all fine for rich people!"
Stay classy, Western media.
Whoever wrote/produced this nonsense has absolutely no understanding of current HVAC systems or electricity. You should be embarrassed.
Air conditioning isn't a problem. Dirty electricity is the problem. Everyone wants electric cars soon – electricity demand is going to absolutely skyrocket. What we need is enormous amounts of clean electricity. We already know how to make that – we just have to do it. There is no technical problem – it's a political problem. Grid storage is a solution. Nuclear is a solution.
Meanwhile Phoenix AZ had its best summer in memory. We had loads of rain to refill our reservoirs. 4 days in a row under 100 deg. in August, the hottest month for us normally. Last summer we had more days over 110 deg than any other year on record.
Never sold heat pump controlled by rockwell automation plc's or siemens plc's nor done anything with aircon replacement startup.
The future https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQvM9ZY41k&t=1539s and what await us.
It's possible to have greenery within a building so that a friendly environment to humans is maintained.
