Air conditioning could emit more carbon than the US by 2050

 
The study from a team at the University of Birmingham anticipates that air con usage will double over the next 25 years as increasingly high temperatures force people to remain indoors to stay cool.

Even mid-range predictions suggest that electricity for cooling could reach 4,493TWh annually, and in the worst case be responsible for more carbon emissions globally than the modern-day US.
