Newscientist reports on the heavy role air conditioning plays on our emissions and how if temperatures rise they could be used more, causing an increase to the problem.
"The greenhouse-gas emissions produced by residential and commercial property – roughly 10 per cent of the world's total emissions, says Graeme Maidment at London South Bank University."-Newscientist
The article follows the different systems in development of concept stages which could help slow ro even stop the problem of environmentally damaging air conditioning units.
One solution looks into is a system based on sound can help to keep us cool and prevent the release of emissions. "The team have previously built a fridge for ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry's based on this so-called thermoacoustic technology. They say they can scale it up for use in air conditioning"-Newscientist
