Increased use of ACs as the planet warms could create what researchers call a “feedback loop,” and higher emissions.

"Greenhouse gas" means that certain gases block thermal radiation. Diluted in the atmosphere, these gases prevent heat (thermal radiation) from escaping into space. Without this effect, we'd freeze as ...

It is a double-edged sword. As the planet heats up, more of us are turning up and turning to air conditioning to keep us cool. The trouble is that, as well as consuming vast amounts of electricity, AC ...

Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating ...

Mountain Heating and Cooling, a family-owned HVAC company serving Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley since 1977, marks nearly five decades of adapting advanced heat pump technology for Montana’s extreme ...

Air conditioners protect people from heatwaves, but rising global use could increase emissions and add to climate warming by ...

While air-conditioning protects people from dangerous heat, it also significantly worsens global warming – by 2050 potentially producing more carbon dioxide than the current annual emissions of the ...

Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire LiquidStack, a global leader in liquid cooling technology for data ...

Ship engines spew particles that drift into the lower atmosphere, creating linear, reflective clouds called ship tracks, which can cool the ocean. FSU research asks whether the phenomenon could ...

Sauk Rapids manufacturer Pinnacle Climate Technologies is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this month. Pinnacle Climate Technologies produces heating and cooling products for both commercial and ...

Global climate spending is booming, yet only a small share helps communities adapt to intensifying climate impacts.
