The Bloomberg article A Billion New Air Conditioners Will Save Lives But Cook the Planet talked about a lot of issues and some alternatives. However, higher energy efficiency, a little bit less harmful refrigerant, lower taxes is not a solution. The real AC affordability and climate change breakthrough is water evaporative air conditioning without huge energy consuming compressor and eco harmful refrigerant. There is at the same time HVAC disruptive water evaporative tech with drastically less cost (capex, opex and maintenance), energy, and emission.

However, the main idea of the article - die (from heat) or buy (traditional AC).

I see DoE Energy Star tag with EER about 11 as blog illustration.

What is Transaera's air conditioner EER?

Do you believe EER could be 200? Believe you or not, we have ERR 200+ while testing our 3D-plastic printed dew-point water evaporative air conditioner prototype.

Come on guys, quit pushing the hoax. The sun determines the weather. We need CO 2 for plants, we're almost too low. The other planets are warming too. It's cycles. The corporations love the climate hoax. If you change something - fuels, fashion, etc. the corps. get to supply all the new parts for the new technology. Besides more volcanoes are erupting, making us cooler. And idiot Gates is dimming the sun with his crap. They were already spraying 50 million lbs of particles in the air every year.😵
