Fridges: the key to keeping Earth cool?
According to at least one well-respected ranking of solutions to climate change, refrigeration is the number one way we can reduce carbon emissions. In this video I talk about why, and how we can make that a reality. No, it doesn’t involve putting the Earth in a fridge.
Note that rankings of emissions reductions change over time! It’s been a few years since the Drawdown book was published, and on their website refrigeration is no longer at the top spot. But that’s because they’ve split “refrigeration” into two solutions, and especially when accounting for implementing the Kigali Amendment, it’s still the single largest solution by emissions avoided.
