Facts about air conditioning that you need to know

It seems like man is stuck in a dilemma, where something which was previously thought to be a harmless need to artificially cool off the body can in fact be something that’s harmful.

It begins with man’s innate desire to have more and in the case of air conditioning, the artificial cooling it provides compels man’s need for more air conditioning.

Stan Cox, a well-known environmentalist and book author, points out that when the Earth experiences the simultaneous blasting of air conditioners worldwide, it releases more than 100 million tons pf carbon dioxide every year, further complicated by the addition of climate-affecting hydroflourocarbons that contribute to global warming.

Summers get hotter every year

In his latest book “Losing Our Cool: Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air- Conditioned World,” Cox shows evidence of a worsening global climate.

Summer seasons have been getting hotter every year, where he points out that the last six seasons were the hottest in the last century.

Man’s normal reaction –to get relief from the burning heat – would lower indoor temperature by increasing the air conditioning capacity. Unfortunately, it will just make it all the worse.

Unknown to most, the body gets impacted by the artificial cooling that it affects the body’s tolerance for heat, making it more unbearable and it continues to worsen.

Air conditioning can add to more stress

Studies show that artificial cooling makes you feel lethargic, where the stress hormone Cortisol also adds to the equation and could in fact, leave you easily susceptible to stress factors and tend to blow your top at the slightest provocation.

It also increases the risk of catching airborne viruses from anyone carrying it and getting into the A/C controlled room due to the same air recycling inside the enclosed space and spread a possible contagion to everyone that breathes it in.

Open windows

The best way to counter these problems is to start opening your windows to let air escape and circulate freely from the environment. Some cities are also encouraging citizens to plant more trees, including office spaces to allow for more shade to cool the atmosphere naturally and to minimize the use of A/C for artificial cooling.
