Rising Air-Conditioning Use Intensifies Global Warming

💥 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Integrated assessment frameworkThis study develops an integrated assessment framework to quantify the total warming impact and inequalities resulting from AC use under various climate scenarios (see Fig. 6). For this scenario analysis, we utilize the SSP-RCP framework to simulate climate scenarios, matching the outputs of multiple GCM models from the CMIP6 database (see the Climate scenarios section). Subsequently, we quantify global and regional cooling demand across different scenarios using an improved population-weighted CDD approach, incorporating the heat-index approach (see the heat-index approach section). We integrate the…
