Head of the oil regulator in Texas, USA, Wayne Christian has found a way to deal with global warming. He called only “Include this damned air conditioner” Instead of a number of environmental prohibitions, Bloomberg writes.
Thus, Christian commented on the NAPE environmental summit in Houston the UN report that global warming is directly related to human activity.
“Instead of spending 78 trillion dollars to stop production around the world, it is forbidden to use coal electricity to use coal electricity and the like – turn on this damned air conditioner. This is so simple,” the head of the oil regulator said.
According to the International Energy Agency, the use of air conditioners has increased three times from 1990 to 2016, they account for 10 percent of all electricity consumption and 1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
In September 2020, then the President of the United States Donald Trump predicted the retreat of global warming. He repeatedly expressed a skeptical attitude towards the facts that confirm the global climate change. “Start becomes cooler. Just follow. I do not think that science really knows,” the American leader said.
