There are sooo many logical fallacies going on here. Here's a question for you - what's the sea level inside the greenhouse? Also, FYI - there are no plants in the upper atmosphere.
If you are an avid gardener, you already know it’s not the same anymore. Georgia, the Peach State, is out of peaches. Here’s why, and how locals are coping https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/15/business/georgia-peach-shortage/index.html Midsummer is the peak of juicy peach season in the state of Georgia. But, recently, the Peach Cobbler Factory in Atlanta ran out of peaches and was forced to pivot to… apple cobbler. The Peach State lost more than 90% of this year’s crop after a February heat wave followed by two late-spring frosts. The triple-whammy destroyed peach varieties specifically bred to survive different weather scenarios and wildly inflated prices of the fruit. It also moved much of the local market — in some cases, quite unwillingly — to California peaches. …
Yeah. That's THE WORST. Imagine any other type of peotestors doing anything even half as horrible as that J6
My Love Affair With Air-Conditioning For a writer growing up in steamy Delhi, India, the arrival of AC—the most American of inventions—meant a revolution in comfort and dignity. https://www.wsj.com/articles/my-lov...6qjyyup65zv&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
Air conditioning will be needed everywhere. Hopefully, that means someone will figure out a way to drive down the cost for consumers. It currently costs too much to replace your AC units every 5-10 years, considering the technology has been around for 100 years. New innovation is needed.
There is definitely lots of room for improvement and even reuse when it comes to AC. AC units generate 5-10g of water each day, which is wasted. Considering that water is becoming more scarce due to a warming climate, we should take a few easy steps to recapture and reuse this wasted water locally. This summer, I am actually collecting this water somewhat manually, and I hope to automate the process this winter when it’s cooler to work in the attic. I hope to repipe the AC drains and divert this water to a barrel that I can use for my garden and trees.
There is a lot of improvement in cooking technology. Not just through air conditioning but through passive cooling and better insulation of buildings.
Maybe people should wait until they actually need to replace their AC instead of replacing perfectly good functioning ACs every 5 to 10 years
They are just reacting to censorship, just like Vivek says. Conservatives are more worried about climate protests than climate change. That says everything.
Texas and Florida will be two of the worst affected states if predictions on climate change are correct.
Won't be enough. The energy needs of the planet - electricity needs - will explode. Unless that increase is covered by nuclear or renewables (it won't) the problems we see will get worse before they get better. Buckle up!
As stated the technology already exists to provide energy free of fossil fuels. Just using renewables we could generate much much more power as the wind blows, the Sun shines and there is a temperature gradient in the ground everywhere. This isn’t a problem of technology. This is a problem of infrastructure and politics.
From what I've seen renewables can not replace the energy needs of the planet currently. It's closer to 10% than 100% - assuming you can even build that many solar panels and wind farms.
Of course, people aren't spending money just to replace an AC unit, but because they need to. Central AC replacements easily run $10k+.
