Why not just reverse all air conditioners? Heat the insides of buildings, and cool the world? Problem solved!

Air conditioners blow HOT air out the other side, dumbasses.

I just had central air installed in my house, so you can expect a summer with well below normal temperatures.

Removing CO2 from a conditioned space (for people) is a desirable ‘air quality’ benefit anyway, regardless of the ‘climate change’ CO2 hoax. I believe submarine scrubbers have to do this. However, it’s impracticable to add this capacity to HVAC equipment that would increase their installation and operation costs drastically yet would make only the most infinitesimal changes to the overall atmosphere, even if every machine out there had this capacity.

That's why the plan is to put the hot side of the air conditioners inside giant refrigerators.

I figure the same sort of thing can occur to counter tropical storms. Say in Florida there is a storm developing and is gonna head towards the west coast of FL. Everybody that has a portable fan needs to go to the beach and point all those fans to the west. Storm stopped. Sheesh. How hard is that?

The only reason for air conditioning is white people.

Clever, but stupid. Sucking CO2 out of the air requires energy. Less energy with this idea, but energy nevertheless. That energy is generated with something that contributes to the level of CO2.

If you suck CO2 out of the air, plant life will grow less lavishly to compensate for the reduced CO2, and that will reduce the amount of oxygen in the air which will impact animal life which will produce less CO2. Get where this is going? Nature is self-correcting.

CO2 is produced by the power plant, not the air conditioning unit. So every power plant would have to have some sort of “carbon-capture” equipment that is powered by renewable energy. Not sure how that would work, but would probably raise the price of electricity astronomically.

It has been written in Wattsupwiththat that there is no global warming if the only temperature readings that are used are not in the metro-urban heat sinks.

Let me see. Our interior spaces heat up in part because they are closed environments that earth’s natural air currents have less effect on. So we cool them by cooling the interior air, taking the heat extracted from it and throwing it outside.

Then we measure the outside air temperature and declare it is warming greater than it ought to be. Well duh!!!
