The most important thing to understand is that the common person cannot stop it only make it worse. Consumers use the energy heat producing factories produce. If we actually want a difference, we need to figure out alternatives and lobby for bans on these heat producing sources.

"heat producing sources" we're like a type 0.7 civilization, we can't possibly produce enough heat directly to cause global warming. what we've done is mass produce greenhouse gases, most notably steam which almost every power source produces, including ones considered renewable like geothermal and "green" like nuclear. I suggest we use tax incentives to more naturally push businesses towards solar and wind power.

[@piefighter36]

I'm from a town called Wellington, South Africa, and the geography does not lend itself well to cooling. It's so bad that we have the nickname of "hellington" cause in the summer the temperatures can hit 45 celcius in the day and only marginally back down to 30c at night. How do we cope? Good question, you can't work for more than 40 ish minutes without getting in a pool because the sweat from your hands will ruin the book you're writing in. Gaming is almost exclusively nocturnal, lest you jam a frozen cloth into your pc for cooling as I did to play portal. We even soak our bedding in water and sleep on the floor, which is quite comfortable. Cold water during daytime is a valuable commodity since water in the pipes can be heated to often boiling points. At night the fridge is filled completely with water for the next day. I used to be worried about my sweaty smell, but fact is that it doesn't matter cause it is unavoidable at school and everyone wreaks of sweat. And no, we don't have aircons. We have desk fans that cost about 2% of what an aircon costs and is about 0.2% the cost to keep running

Turning the AC off in one part of the day to just turn it back on later in the same day uses more energy then just leaving it on. 3-4 box/ceiling/stand up fans uses the equivalent of a 5k btu window A/C unit because they are used much more through the day and night.

[@rphb5870]

may I recommend using a green alternative to an AC unit. There is a few tricks that we can use to attain a permanently cold indoor climate without the need of expensive electricity. First we need thick stone walls. 1 meter in thickness will suffice, but a little thinner may also be enogh, especially if ye combine it with trick #2 plant cover. Simply cover all of your outside walls with plant. I recommend Ivy, it is fast growing and likes to cling to things. A good think plantcover absorbs the heat from the sun and prevent the stones from getting hot, which allows us to have much thinner walls and still retain a cold inside. It functions much the same way as getting cold beers on a hot beach without electricity. Just soak a towel in water, wrap it around the beers and leave it in the sun to bake. The beer will actually start to freeze if ye keep it out too long

The opposite coast is more prone to hurricanes. The top coast melting over time causing all kinds of things like apples growing further north with wheat. Or fires, droughts and floods.
