Environmental Policies,Heat Waves,Air Conditioning

Phasing out fossil fuels could inadvertently make heat waves more dangerous by limiting access to essential cooling technologies like air conditioning.

Authored by Connor O'Keefe via The Mises Institute, On Sunday, activists from the environmentalist organization Extinction Rebellion stormed the green in the final, pivotal moments of the Travelers Championship, a professional golf tournament. The protesters tossed red and white chalk and smoke bombs before being tackled to the ground by police.

Because architects no longer needed to rely on windows for ventilation, air conditioning allowed for larger, sturdier buildings that could extend higher than had ever been possible. These skyscrapers significantly increased the supply of housing and office space in urban areas without requiring more land. That meant the air conditioning making residences and offices more comfortable was also making them more affordable.
