Conditioned to See the Upside of Climate Change?

 

Banks appear to be employing some simple-minded folk. Some of their 'gurus' are reporting that climate change will be a boost to the manufacturers of air conditioning. There may well be increased local demand for such units in hotter areas of the developed world. Not everyone, however, will be able to purchase a new air conditioner. Furthermore, running these devices will require more electricity that could well exacerbate global heating. Climate change, also doesn't mean uniform alterations in the prevailing weather. Extreme weather events are likely to disrupt the ability to maintain a comfortable room temperature (https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-guardian/20250403/282067692749452). This kind of statement reminds me of earlier claims. It was suggested that climate change would expand wine production into northern areas of the UK. The BBC even suggested a benefit would be enabling children to play outside longer. It isn't even April 1st!
