 Because of the combination of population growth, rising incomes, falling equipment prices and urbanization, the number of air-conditioning units installed globally is set to jump from about 1.6 billion today to 5.6 billion by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency. Extreme weather is leading to more demand for air-conditioning and thereby more electricity...140% over the next 30 years. Carbon dioxide emissions rose another 2% in 2018, the fastest pace in 7 years. 90% of US households have air-conditioning while only 3% of German households have it. Look out for more ultra-efficient, hyper insulated construction in the future that minimizes the need for cooling and heating. (Bloomberg)
