As the planet gets hotter, more people use air conditioners to keep cool. Running these takes lots of energy, which means emissions that then further speed up global warming. Rethinking our architecture and using more efficient cooling technologies could help us break this vicious circle.

What makes me optimistic is that we mostly need cooling during the sunny days when solar is plentiful and cooling is much more energy efficient than heating!

Good observation but I have noticed (here in Slovenia) that with climate change comes more frequent storms often with hailstones and these are doing a lot of damage to solar panels. Of course solar panel technology is also getting better and perhaps this too can be avoided. #solarpunk
