the same time, will this reduce global warming.

No. Because the process of cooling the interior of a fridge or freezer only moves warm air from inside the unit, to the outside to begin with. The warmer air outside would only reach equilibrium with the cooler air inside the fridge. There is no way to air condition the whole Earth. At least not currently. You would need some way of increasing the radiatian of heat away from the Earth and into space to "cool" off the Earth.

When a frige or freezer is switched on it uses electricity. This electicity is converted to heat by the compressor. The chilled compartment is kept cool by the release of the gas previously compressed by the compressor. Overall, a refrigeration device adds a small amount to global warming.

I am not doing that coz I know what I am going find underneaf them on the floor,ohhhhhhhhh the shame!,I wonder how you would organize a mass event like this though? would it be like 3 2 1 every body open,the mind boggles, I hope everybody had extension leads?hang on a darn minute,isn`t electrical applainces partly to blame for global warming and destroying the enviroment?

If you want to come round and move my fridge/freezer then feel free, I need to clean under it and get some stuff out from behind it. But I'm not opening it outside 'cos I don't have an extension cable long enough!

Not at all! The compressors on the back of the units will heat the air as much as the inside is cooled and there will be no net cooling; that is, unless you store up the cool air and unplug the units and open them. But then you have all the warm air that would filter out of the buildings they had released the heat of the compressors into...

Thermodynamics branch of Physics clearly explains that if we open the door of fridge, it will make room warm, not cool as expected. The reason lies behing various thermodynamics calculations for energy. So, if we place all fridges out, they will in fact increase global warming (though it will be unnoticeble if we compare this with huge number of other heat reactions going around the world.)

precisely the opposite will happen
If a (really good) fridge sucks in 4 bits of heat energy from the ice cream and yoghurt, it adds 1 bit of electrical energy, and dumps 4 + 1 = 5 bits of heat energy out the grill at the back. So you actually add 1 bit of heat energy to the atmosphere by leaving the fridge on with the door open.
Plus in order to make that 1 bit of electrical energy you had to burn coal worth about 4 bits of heat energy. So the net heat gain is 4 bits.
don't do it!

LOL-----if everybody on the Asian continent jumped up into the air and landed back on the ground at exactly the same moment, would it cause the earth to bounce out of its orbit?

actually the energy used to make them cold will boost global warming
and first you would have to eat all the food in it so everyone would become fat
and they would be heavy to move
apart from that its a really cool idea
