No, because air conditioners contribute to global warming.

Beleive it or no longer this has been seen, or a minimum of something alongside comparable strains. One project with air conditioners is they only circulate warmth from one place to a distinctive, they do no longer actual smash warmth or comprise it some way. Plus, the motor to run the AC unit produces it truly is own warmth so the internet result's a warming one. What may be required is to pass the warmth out of Earth's atmosphere and that's the muse that became pronounced. no longer a lot by employing blowing heated air into outer area yet by employing warmth transference by way of a sturdy medium. the draw back of this form of gadget is one among scale and fee. Getting something as much as the sting of area is expensive, getting thousands and thousands of 'aircon' gadgets is prohibitively so. There are besides the shown fact that different simpler and coffee fee approaches of combatting international warming that are being studied, the frontrunners in this container of geoengineering being those schemes that are finding at approaches of removing greenhouse gases from the ambience.

An air-conditioner emits heat when it separates hot air from cold air. So the net effect of an air-conditioner is to heat up any closed system in which it operates. That is why all air-conditioners have their compressor outside the building they air-condition.

However, if you are talking about cooling buildings when the climate warms, that has been very popular for 50 years.

We could put large sun shades in space to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth. It wouldn't be so hard to do because we only need to reduce the amount very slightly. The shades could be light weight material, like space blankets, and kept in the right place by small satellites attached to them. Serious scientists have mentioned the possibility, but so far it isn't very popular. One problem would be, who is to say how much shade is needed? If NASA did it, then every country in the world that had a damagingly cold winter any year after the shades went up would sue the U.S. for causing it. In fact anyone in the world that didn't like the weather would sue. With great power comes great responsibility.

no, because in air conditioners, they let out gasly chemicals that trap the earth's heat which is suppose to go to space. building giant air conditioners would only increase global warming. global warming at that rate,in 10 years it will be strong enough to melt da air conditioners along with everything else

Airconditioners are heat pumps. They pump heat out of your house/room and into the outddoors. There is nowhere "outside" of our atmosphere for us to pump the heat from Global Warming. Even if we built such a device, the energy required to run it would be phenomenal. It would have to run all the time since the source of the heat is the Sun. Pumping carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases such as methane) out of the air would be a better solution.

Air conditioners work by removing heat from the interior of a space, but they don't get rid of the heat. The heat is merely transfered to the outside. As the motors operate, they also create heat, so air conditioners actually constitute 2 sources of heat for the air around us.

That would be like cooling off your kitchen by leaving the door open. All the heat removed from the refrigerator is being blown out the back from air passing over the coils into the room. Since the motor puts off heat when it runs, the net effect would be to heat the kitchen more than cool it.

next thing you need is a giant fan to blow away all the bad air in the atmosphere.

If global warming was real, would it really be this cold right now?
