Stockport, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- Climate change is a universal issue, and as the weather gets increasingly severe over time, there is more and more emphasis on the fact that the world is gradually warming up. The fact people often don't consider is that our role in cooling the globe artificially, through methods such as air conditioning, is actually making it hotter too.
Yet the demand for air conditioning is increasing, and America is already using as much electricity for cooling buildings down as Africa uses in total. Air-conditioning is everywhere, in our homes, offices, cars and hospitals, but the rate at which fuel is burning to provide cooling systems is already accounting for 10% of emissions – which is more than all aviation. This adds significantly to the global warming process.
Air-conditioning is demanded all over the world and many people now expect it in all aspects of their lives, especially in cities to make them habitable. Developing countries such as India and China are fast catching America up on how much energy they use to fuel cooling systems. With further urbanisation the power consumption for air-conditioning alone is expected to increase 33-fold by 2100. Therefore important consideration needs to taken regarding air conditioning use and whether it is sustainable – including here in the UK. Measures are being urged, such as adopting more efficient units which are available from the best providers.
Toby Peters, visiting professor at the University of Birmingham for power and the cold economy said "Cold is the Cinderella of the energy debate. If we don't change the way we do it, the consequences are going to be dramatic" when talking to The Guardian.
