Not really how climate change works. While the average global temperature will trend higher, there will be colder and hotter seasons, each getting more extreme as they go back and forth. There will be hotter heat waves and colder cold snaps.
Air conditioning stops working effectively around 120F and decreases in efficiency as it gets hotter because the condenser cannot effectively discharge heat into the air.
Freshwater sources are drying up worldwide with absolute proof and nobody cares.
Take a serious look at moving somewhere moderate. The ultra wealthy are all building fortified compounds in the Michigan peninsula. Why?
It’s possible to engineer a condenser that outputs 60-80°C using exotic gases/coolant blends, but you’re right, the standard residential A/C is going to be operating at around 48°C.
Oh, of course, no doubt! I’m a child if late middle 80’s, growing up in a western coast in Norway. There was always snow during winter. The last 15 years has shown MAYBE a day or two of snow, then warmer again.
And then we had the sudden cold for a couple of weeks, which postponed the construction of a new parking lot with about two months due to the frost in the ground (there was something like a sudden 2-3 weeks of -10 Celsius).
Then we have the summer of 18 in Europe. Even Norway was so dry everything turned yellow.
It happens, but I do think that in some climates, like Norway, it’ll mostly get warmer with the freak occurrence of cold/heat (depending on the season). My previous comment is for the general term, not to be taken literally.
And thank you! I’ve missed having a constructive discussions on the internet. Happy holidays!
