Increased air conditioner use will add to global warming
Journal of Turkish Weekly ^ | April 29, 2015

Posted on 04/29/2015 1:38:01 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Soon more than 1 billion consumers in developing nations will be able to buy their first air conditioner, increasing energy demand, says co-author of new study.

Global warming will increase sales of air conditioners, which in turn will increase climate change, according to a forthcoming study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The growth of global economies will allow more consumers around the world to buy more comforts, including air conditioners, according to the researchers from the University of California Berkeley. The increased use of air conditioners, however, will require significantly more electricity.

Air conditioning and global warming, the study’s authors contend, become a spiral that can cycle toward environmental disaster. As global temperatures rise, more consumers will buy air conditioners, which then add to more global warming.

The authors claim that action should be taken now, before a large mass of people around the world have the means to afford air conditioners.

Liberals are now denouncing people for trying to keep cool in the summer.

Next thing you know, they’ll denounce people for trying to keep warm in the winter.

Why? Human comfort leads to climate change.

If a liberal wanted to save a planet everyone one of them should jump into a molten volcano! Problem solved. Wasn’t that simple?

That's like when I ran the dehumidifier in the basement with the vents open.

The neighborhood didn't get dehumidified though ;^)

Translation...the Rats will demand that we in the US will have to shut ours off so that the Chinese,who 20 years ago didn’t have the first clue what air conditioning was,can use theirs.

People in America just need to stop using AC when it’s hot.

Or they need to start installing cash/credit card operated air conditioning pay panels inside all the apartments, homes and businesses.

You can either sit in your own sweat, or keep feeding cash into the air conditioning dispenser. Of course the warmer it gets the higher the AC pay rates will be. And if it reaches predetermined temps, your AC will start blowing hot air in your face while flashing important climate change messages.

you know, being raised in Massachusetts, guns were never part of my upbringing, so, even though I’m a strong second amendment supporter, and I know the Marxists want to disarm us, it doesn’t really come from my gut to say you can pry my gun from my dead cold hands because its not how I grew up.
however, if they think they are going to take my friggin air conditioner away, they’ll think they are facing a friggin army of ak’s. Marxists bastards.

Whoever thought that once we got to the future of having good heating and cooling, that it would become a political war to use it.

Shortly after we got the ability to set a thermostat in our home for comfort 60 years or so ago, the left started warring against it.

Here we are well into the 21st century, and they still want you to set the temperature at whatever it takes to make you uncomfortable, which varies depending on the season.

Now they are installing smart thermostats....so guess what’s coming?

We could have a limited NUCLEAR WAR and not impact the global climate.

These liars have no basis for their claims of man-made climate change.

Because that would violate the laws of thermodynamics.

Refrigeration-type A/C units work by exchanging the warm inside air with cold air using a heat pump/compressor. This is why the air immediately outside a window A/C unit is really hot.

Evaporative-type units run cold water past a set of fans, like a radiator. The now-warm water is then taken away, and re-circulated. The water can be initially cooled using a cooling tower (like at a nuclear power plant), or even a hybrid refrigerator system. (i.e. the water is cooled using a refrigerator system, like a water fountain)

TL;DR: If the cool air is let out, the temperature returns to equilibrium, according to the first law of thermodynamics and/or the law of conservation of energy.

But that wouldn’t matter to the warmists now, would it?

Well, I sure hope something gets the "warming" back into "global warming". Each of our last three winters has been worse than the one before, and summers are getting positively anemic.

[[Increased air conditioner use will add to global warming]]

how the hell will it contribute to global warming? The atmosphere has just 0.00137% CO2 in it created by man- that’s it- 100
s of years worth of CO2 created by man and our atmosphere still only has 0.00137% CO2 in it created by man

These LIARS and SCAM artists should be required to explain to everyone how 0.00137% of our atmosphere can possibly be causing climate change! When it is discovered that these idiots can NOT explain how, then they should shut their LYING mouths once and for all

Tell us greenies, how much of the heat trapped by 0.00137% of our atmosphere makes it’s way back to earth via back radiation? 10% of 0.00137%? (0.000137) 5%? (0.0000685)

What percent is it greenies? How about you show the actual heat coming back from our atmosphere and actually causing temperatures to rise In specific spots- We want to see specific heat molecules trapped by man’s CO2 making it’s way back to earth and causing definitive heat increases- we want the actual numbers- ENOUGH with the ‘it’s hotter, man burns fossil fuels, therefor man is responsible for the increase’ NONSENSE- SHOW US the heat specifically trapped by MAN’S CO2 causing the temp increases you claim it is- surely you can show that, right? No? Then shut it!

[[TL;DR: If the cool air is let out, the temperature returns to equilibrium, according to the first law of thermodynamics ]]

Precisely the point I’ve made numerous times about the heat that gets trapped by man’s piddly 0.001`37% CO2 contribution to the atmosphere- what little heat gets actually back radiated to earth will quickly return to equilibrium because it quickly becomes overwhelmed by cooler temps or warmer temps whichever the case may be-

The small amount of heat trapped by man’s CO2, and makign it’s way back to earth simply is NOT nearly enough to do ANYTHING regarding affecting the temperatures of earth

It is so small that it’s exactly like lighting a match in a football stadium, enclosed, once a year, and claiming that that one match affected the temperatures inside the stadium for the year- The truth is however that that match’s heat was quickly overwhelmed by the cooler temperature, and reached equilibrium temps almost immediately- with NO affect on the average temp In the dome

Plain ol horse hockey. Air conditioners simply move heat from one location to another location. In this case from inside a building to out in the open air. The only additional heat is from the electric motors within the air conditioner.

If they produce their electricity with nuclear energy or hydro-electric power plants...it will add nothing to global warming......neither will anything else, they just can’t figure it out....
