Umair Irfan: It’s Getting Hot In Here

As the summer sizzle approaches, it's time to talk about the paradox of air conditioning: how keeping ourselves cooler functions to make the planet hotter. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Umair Irfan, a Climate Reporter from Vox.com, to discuss air conditioning and the promise of renewable energy. We look at how some of the planet's hottest cities are trying to survive in the face of consistent, record-breaking high temperatures and talk about how breakthroughs in the battery storage sector provide some hope that the renewable energy market will continue to grow.
