How Air Conditioning Is Warming The World
Summer 2021 is shaping up to be one of the hottest in history, as the effects of climate change are becoming ever clearer. Naturally, that’s led to an increase in global demand for air conditioning, which itself is a major contributor to global warming. It’s a vicious cycle, but there are a number of companies working to make heating and cooling more energy efficient, and get buildings off of fossil fuels for good.

So AC is not contaminant, energy production is. Why blame AC?

if air conditioning releases emissions into the air, then what kind of filters have you developed to catch them before they are released into the air?
@amathonn

A very important facet is overlooked – air filtration. You can have the most efficient air conditioning machinery but if you replace your air filter with one that has very high resistance, you may end up using even more electricity.

Repent from sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved from God's eternal judgment and damnation. Jesus died to forgive us of our sins and arose to give us eternal life! Jesus still saves!

I don't know about other places but here in Ontario we like to put our official weather stations right next to huge AC condenser units in stead of out in a field surrounded by grass like they are supposed to be so of cours they are warming the world or so we think! But we really have no idea what the temperature is doing!

How about a little focus on passive heating and cooling in another production? Active systems require robust and highly technical equipment and infrastructure to work where as passive means are simple functioning systems. It would be a good approach by not putting all you eggs in one . approach. I am not dissing the high tech route, but if there is another route, why not explore that as an option first, especially in places where the technology does not fit, due to cost, complexity, or lack of infrastructure.

Coldest winter as well. Most snow where it shouldn't snow. It's not getting hotter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'll run an electric heat pump when it stops costing 4-5x as much to heat with one vs natural gas in my area.
