A bit like owning stocks on the stock market then I would guess. Which begs the question of whether to take a higher paying job with no options and invest the difference.

To warm your hands up

"cold" is quite broad though. That would cover refrigeration/ freezing which would be a much bigger impact than air con.

They're literally the same thing. Only difference is how big the fridge is and how much power you dedicate.

With the title "The far-reaching effects of air conditioning" I didn't immediately think "Yup ... that's handy: frozen peas" even though the technology underlying them is the same.

Refrigeration allows you to preserve any kind of food and eat it at any time of year. It allows food to be shipped in to remote locations, which is important.

Air conditioning directly lets people live where they otherwise couldn't; it doesn't seem obvious that refrigeration is larger-impact.

The chapter covers both. And they impact everything from food to politics.

And old person (over 30)

@ 30 I assume you have a wife & kids.

I think its kind of irresponsible to make risky bets at that age.

You should invest more is "safe bets" like bonds.

" who'd rather want to " -> " who could "

both equally valid in this case

All so the AI robots can get some thermal energy.

I didn't change - I was always a middle manager, sleep obsessed couch potato.
