Energy cannot created or destroyed it only changes the form. Now consider the conversion of electrical enegry to the heat energy. Now consider the computers which runs on 25 volts input but it heats up the proscessors, and there are billions of computers in this world -will this not contribute in increasing the global temperature?
How about a law that AC is not to be powered by the public electricity supply or any fossil fuel? Then it will in practice have to be solar powered, and it will have no effect on the overall city temperature. Also it will give a huge boost to the solar power industry, putting India in a world-leading position, and it will relieve the excessive load on the electricity supply in hot weather.

Okay wise guy, the researchers will probably want to nominate you for the next Nobel Prize for your scientific analysis or rather ... explanation of the 'Simple Law'.
Wonder why you read this piece in the first place when you know the cause and effect of everything that goes on in this world.

its only when I read it i realised that it was a stupid :D
Ok no offences meant, and no more jokes, but tell me wasn't that (increase in tempreture) obvious. I had discussed this with my friends long before this article or probably those researchers realised. But we did't went at length discussing it as we felt that it was obivious

I agree with you mayur, sometimes the obvious eludes the intelligent and this is just the case. It is elementary science....

Not so obvious my friends... Unless there is a rigorous research like this, you cannot prove it. Even now AC manufacturers will come up with different theories and explanations to disprove the above... after all they have to sell ACs

This is already researched and proven. Its called The Principle of Conservation of Energy or its consequent law, The first law of thermodynamics!!!Wonder wat new law the AC manufactures will come up with now .

Read the facts. Law of conservation of energy says total energy is constant, not total HEAT energy. that is like saying since you are boiling water in the kitchen some other room must be cooler! Energy can transform itself into other forms, so cold inside does not "obviously" mean hot outside!

Well, gentlemen, if the authorities (and it is the authorities alone that can do something in issues like this - v the citizens are non-entities) take the Japs finding seriously, airconditioning has to be totally banned.
Theatres have to be open air.
Malls with vast openings.
As Kalam rightly says let the nature rule the roost.
We can revert to huge pankhas and hire pankha-pullers.
Lots of jobs will be created.
But all this will defy the basic Rule of Evolution:
"Survival of the fittest".
The fittest and the mightiest can do anything and everything at the expense of the ordinary mortals.
Tulsidasji ne theek hi to kaha hai:
"Samrath ko nahi dosh goonsai".
After the nuclear holocaust the samarath will go in the underground tunnels.
