Air conditioning has become a critical need amid increasing heat waves affecting millions in the U.S., but its environmental impact is alarming. Responsible for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, this figure is projected to double by 2030 and triple by 2050 as the number of AC units surges. Experts highlight the personal guilt many feel regarding their reliance on AC, as society grapples with climate change implications and questions the necessity of such comfort in terms of environmental responsibility.
Air conditioning is becoming a lifeline in this overheated world. It's no longer a luxury; we rely on it for comfort, productivity, and health.
The feeling of guilt comes from a sense of responsibility to do something. We ask ourselves, 'What can we change?' about our environmental impact.
