    Air conditioning is literally just moving heat from one space to another even at scale the air conditioning from homes is not enough to make any meaningful difference.

    Now if we want to get pedantic the stress that it puts on electrical grids that are not decarbonized and have to fire up natural gas and coal plants harder sure it is technically making everything else hotter

      So if we ignore everything but the actual physical heat coming out of the radiator then yes, it’s really not that much, but unfortunately these units do not exist in a vacuum, and instead contribute to 3% of global emissions.
