Can We Solve the Air Conditioning Paradox? - YouTube (2)
Austin got fewer than 20 days a year that hot.
What was once a luxury is now a necessity
and it's a similar story across the world.
I mean, it's getting warmer everywhere.
How much is up to us and the choices we make
when it comes to things like staying cool.
(gentle music continues)
There's no easy answer here,
but we can't deal with the heat of the future
by just buying more air conditioning.
The type of ACs that we make and install
and how much carbon pollution they create
will actually shape the temperatures
that we face as the heat rises.
(gentle music continues)
