🥵Currently in a heatwave... so what about electricity demands for AC in the future, if, e.g.:
- we provide universal access?
- warming accelerates faster than expected?
- we moderate AC cooling by a few °C

🚀 New paper in @IOPscience Environmental Research: Energy! 🧵

Lastly, thanks for the amazing interdisciplinary team to make this happen! Talented co-leads Peijin Li @Rongqi_Zhu, super @HMcJeon @EdwardByers, and amazing co-corresponding author Prof. Peijie Zhou

@Peters_Glen @AukeHoekstra But without doubt, and going to the 2050s, space cooling demands will grow a lot and there are high access inequalities.

Here is what a 15 foot hurricane storm surge looks like folks.

So we ran feedback runs to estimate with and without climate impacts, and can do this for ANY emissions trajectory.

Not only is this very flexible, but can save loads of computation time and allows us to explore the climate model uncertainties too!
