In the United States alone, energy consumed by home air-conditioning and the resulting greenhouse emissions have doubled in just over a decade; energy used to cool retail stores has risen by two-thirds. Air-conditioning is approaching 20  percent of year-round electricity consumption by U.S. homes, the highest percentage in history. But air-conditioning has shaped human life in other, sometimes surprising ways that go far beyond the monthly utiliity bill.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.losingourcool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">book website<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;will soon be published by The New Press, and I just received an advance copy in the mail because I first met the author, Stan Cox, in 2005\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[240,221,1756,238,239],"class_list":["post-1237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-air-conditioning","tag-book","tag-environment","tag-stan-cox","tag-the-new-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1254,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237\/revisions\/1254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
