Most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which burning emits the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. So any use of air conditioners increases carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Data proposed by the IPCC says that buildings heat makes up over half of all the warming.

Why doesn't California make tourism illegal since it contributes to global warming?

Tourism contributes to global warming, yes, but if the tourists stayed at home, they would still be contributing to global warming by using electricity, transport, heating, and all the other ways we contribute to global warming. Tourism helps the local economy, which is why is still legal. When all travel is banned (except from renewable energy) many tourists will have to stay at home.


Does a refrigerator contribute to global warming?

Yes, refrigerators can contribute to global warming due to the gases they use as refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). If these gases leak into the atmosphere, they can trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect. It's important to properly maintain and dispose of refrigerators to minimize their environmental impact.
