You think a quarter of something isn't a lot..

so you wouldnt like that to deplete, even if by a mere amount?

bout to start hoarding freon

govt should regulate the time you play video games to then

if electricity as a whole is 25% that means AC is even less.

How is this relevant to the issue or this thread topic

stop grasping at straws

Here's the direct source of the number you're pulling it's more than 25% because AC consumption also is linked to 'Other Energy' sources since power is sourced and generated from various ways

It also is linked to the 21% 'Industry' sector

Industry (21% of 2010 global greenhouse gas emissions): Greenhouse gas emissions from industry primarily involve fossil fuels burned on site at facilities for energy. This sector also includes emissions from chemical, metallurgical, and mineral transformation processes not associated with energy consumption and emissions from waste management activities. (Note: Emissions from industrial electricity use are excluded and are instead covered in the Electricity and Heat Production sector.)

How do you think electricity is generated

Read your sources

yall aint scared ?

i never said electricity wasnt an issue... I said "electricity as a whole was 25%"

which means AC would be less than 25%.

thats it. dont jump to conclusions

It's only going to get worse

It's not linked to only the 25% it feeds into the 10% and 21% sectors of different energy -- literally over half

read the chart and look at what I posted

There are just over 1bn single-room air conditioning units in the world right now – about one for every seven people on earth. Numerous reports have projected that by 2050 there are likely to be more than 4.5bn, making them as ubiquitous as the mobile phone is today. The US already uses as much electricity for air conditioning each year as the UK uses in total. The IEA projects that as the rest of the world reaches similar levels, air conditioning will use about 13% of all electricity worldwide, and produce 2bn tonnes of CO2 a year – about the same amount as India, the world’s third-largest emitter, produces today.

All of these reports note the awful irony of this feedback loop: warmer temperatures lead to more air conditioning; more air conditioning leads to warmer temperatures. The problem posed by air conditioning resembles, in miniature, the problem we face in tackling the climate crisis. The solutions that we reach for most easily only bind us closer to the original problem.

power down useless s***, like time square

The sad part about this s*** is you're looking for ME to convince you when there's so many sources to look at from actual experts qualified to label this as a major problem

@Travis_scott_ If you don't want to believe what I'm posting fine, but atleast do enough reading on the topic before you discuss

AC is 13% of electricity.

.13 x 25

even if it was the entire "other 10%"

thats still less than 25%.

im not saying climate change isnt an issue im just saying i am against regulating AC.

its not about "believing" what you are saying. I acknowledge its an issue I just dont agree with your solution.

What part of it's not just the 25% don't you understand

You can't calculate it because you don't know how the energy generation is accounted for that's linked to producing electricity for ACs.

Regardless of how you word it, AC usage is a major factor

Then propose a solution or counter why it wouldn't work

For the entire thread you've went from mitigating AC's impact to now saying while you agree it's a problem, limiting usage isn't the answer

@Travis_scott_ we've been at it too long im off this for now

i said its less than 25%.

i said add the 10% from the "other" section then add .13 x 25% and its less than 25%.

ends justify the means for AC

i dont have a solution I am just against AC restrictions.

Good read… honestly didn’t realize it’s that much of a problem to come up with a solution

Overall our children are f***ed
