• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

It’s time to tax people who use air conditioners!

Namely, AC is an extremely energy-intensive means of cooling space. According to a World Bank report from 2019, cooling tech such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and other devices chalk up as much as 10% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. This is more than double the footprint of aviation and maritime together! At this rate, cooling emissions could double by 2030 and triple by 2100, added the report.

Opinion: A very European answer to air conditioning | CNN

This year's sweltering temperatures have seen air conditioning purchases skyrocket across Europe. The catch is that air conditioning is an extremely energy-intensive means of cooling space. Could the answer lie in an AC unit that runs on renewable energy?

I completely agree!

AC is the most unneeded thing that we all use that if omitted, would reduce our carbon footprint by a significant sum. Couple that with fortune 500 companies building ridiculous sky scrapers for a bunch is idiots who need a cubicle to work their meaningless jobs!

Funny thing is, you posting this, shines a light on all the hypocritical liberal companies who have been following the woke, queer loving, beliveing the science people. If they really believed that global warming was a problem, take the first real step, and destroy their AC units. You will not see this on any level. Thus the problem aint that bad.

Anything less than complete removal of AC, is just kicking the can further down the street, just like electric cars.


Thanks for posting such an informative post, and have a great day.!

Your troll attempt is way too obvious. Big businesses are all hand in glove with the Nazi Republicans.

I’d love to ban AC across the globe but cultists in the US, and especially in the racist south, only think about themselves.

•(3)Has the "climate change" narrative changed to "cooling" now instead of "warming"?

No it’s not. It’s a vaccine just like all the others throughout time.

Is that assertion based on the masses of archaeological evidence recently excavated near Giza plateau that show there were "vaccination" programs way back in the days of ancient Egypt?
😆Hope not, coz there isn't anything of the sort and "officially" the first "vaccine" was invented in 1796 by Edward Jenner as a fallacious inoculation against "smallpox".
