The Cruel Irony Of Air Conditioning

Air conditioning has improved comfort and saved lives but contributes significantly to climate change. It releases CO2 and uses refrigerants that trap heat more effectively than CO2. As global temperatures rise, air conditioning use increases, creating a feedback loop. To mitigate this, we need efficient air conditioners, alternative refrigerants, and sustainable urban designs. Solutions include recycling refrigerants, using natural cooling methods, and redesigning cities with green spaces.
