As the average temperature of the planet rises every year we also have started using the air conditioner more. The result is that we are heating up the environment even more. What happens is, whenever we turn on the air conditioner, it releases carbon into the air. And carbon has been identified as the element that insulates our planet and is a major contributor in global warming.
And if we are to believe recent studies, the worse is yet to come. Actually we have got into this vicious loop where the hotter it gets, the more of air conditioning we use, and consequently the earth gets even hotter.
If we look at the figures, we can understand that the average world temperature of the Earth has increased by 1 degree Fahrenheit in just the last century. Though it might sound minimal, it is actually a remarkable change. Scientists believe that much of this global warming can be attributed to the release of carbon dioxide and other green house gases which are released when we burn the conventional fossil fuels. What is being predicted is that the practice will continue for the coming years and it will only increase with time.
Compared to most other electric devices, the air conditioner consumes much more energy. So to keep the air conditioners running a lot of fossil fuels need to be used. Whenever you have your air conditioner working at full blast you should realize that you are contributing in your own way to the global warming.
If we account for all the power consumed by air conditioners alone across the country it would be something around half percent of the total energy that is used in by the United States. This seems a rather small figure. However, the problem is even half percent can make a serious contribution to the phenomenon of global warming.
Another problem is that the consumption of energy and hence the release of the greenhouse gases are not the same all over the country. So, particular areas are more affected than the rest.
Till the day we can use alternative forms of energy in a wide scale, turning on the air conditioner will always mean that the earth will be affected. The only way to limit the damage is by using high energy efficient air conditioners which require less power to run, and to keep the use of the air conditioners to the minimum level possible.
Well, for starters that “P.S. your health care sucks” makes you sound like Sean Hannity’s parrot. He states it and you idiots believe it. Our healthcare is fucking awesome and it’s something most Canadians are very proud of. Even conservative Canadians.
Then correlating Obama with Communism is another Fox News talking point. You are an absolute fucking moron if you think Obama is a Communist.
Lastly, where the fuck do you get Nazi from? Oh yeah….FOX NEWS.
Idiot. Go kill yourself.
Ray Charles can see that you are canadian.
what talking points are you refering to. I simply stated that you have no clue what you are throwing out of your mouth… Keep sucking off your government but the sad thing is your people and hard earned tax money are paying for lazy fucks cause they think someone owes them something… P.S your health care sucks!!!
A monopoly is a single company that provides a service. If you have more than one, it’s not a monopoly. The “private sector” is not a single entity, it works with different rules than the government which just prints money and puts us all into debts. The government is the only monopoly I see here. But you have no problem with government being a monopoly on the initiation of force against innocent people, right?
I’ll check out stefbot’s videos tomorrow, but it’s not so much your ideas I’m against, it’s the reality of those ideas. Much like Communism, it looks great on paper, but runs into inevitable problems.
Just for the record, we agree on personal freedom and competition. We just differ on how to get there.
Marx said it was necessary for communists to kill the lesser races and classes which would never evolve to the soviet man’s level. That looks great on paper to you? Using communism’s failures as a way to bash free markets is really absurd. Free markets are what you have when noone imposes anything, communism needs to be imposed.
that’s what happens in a socialist system, everyone believes the government is supposed to take care of people.
Communism DOESN’T look great on paper. Anyone with half a brain can understand why it will never work. Free markets is not some grand plan to solve all the problems of society which is good in theory but can never work, it’s man’s default mode of exchange. The kind of regulations you want look great on paper, but in reality, they are used by the biggest corporations to keep the little guys out. That’s their dirty little secret, the regulations you fight for are exactly what they want.
I thought that way too once… open your mind, try these ideas on… look at youtube user stefbot he has really good arguments against the coercive state and for a more open-source, competition welcome state of society.
This is a perfect way to impart everybody about air conditioning and greenhouse. I think everyone should be awaken by these facts, and go to things which can get into the betterment of a/c unit usage.
Thanks for imparting!
So Obama hires lobbyists, die-hard communists, radicals and Alinsky-ites in his administration, and we have to ignore all that and bash Fox News and Alex Jones instead? Look at who these people are, where they come from, not what the media lapdogs say.
