Odd that no one here has made any comments on the correlation of the massive boom in air conditioning in the last 30 years around the world and climate change.

Wouldn't it seem like having an ever increasing number of these things, humming constantly in both hemispheres all throughout the year and generating loads of hot air and greenhouse gases, is a significant contributor (even maybe main contributor) to the global rise in temperature?



That, and they insulate us from the effects of climate change. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
