Yes, if we turn all air conditioners around, we could air condition the climate. That would help global warming.

Air conditioning does not destroy heat when it is used. It simply moves some from where you don't want it (inside your house), to someplace else (outside your house).
It takes energy to do this. Likely electricity generated by burning fossil fuels. So air conditioning makes global warming just a little bit worse.
The answer is to start making electricity in some other way; nuclear, solar, and wind, are currently the best ideas.

Industrial countries, like the U.S. add several heating agents and chemicals in the air, including Air Conditoners. However, some of the biggest reasons include poverty, poorer countries typically heard animals, such as cows, and realase methane into ground and air. Poorer countries cant afford "air conditioners" but they can afford the cheaper and more polluting technologies in the businesses they do have. Major companies often target these places because te environmental laws are few or non existent.

Air conditioning is a huge contributor to global warming gasses in the USA because of the big amount of power it uses. Air conditioning in a small house is more damaging than an SUV.

I always thought air conditioning was a perfect use for solar power. At least at my house the greatest need for air conditioning is on clear, sunny days.
