   @thomasfuchs I can't believe you until Technology Connections says it's true.

     @chris @thomasfuchs Great point. The key is to keep air from ever getting too hot. But the exchanger that sits outside still has the problem. Earth homes! Live under dirt!

     @thomasfuchs It is my understanding this is one of the big concerns with global warming, AC is only good for 25-30 F lowering. So they won’t be effective as we warm and now northern populations will have both hot summers and arctic blasts in winter. Just more energy usage across the board.

     @SloanStudio @thomasfuchs IIRC: this means 25-30 degrees off *intake* air. If it recirculates already-cool air from inside the house it can continue to go lower if the house is well insulated.

     @thomasfuchs @chris Right. Newer heat pumps. We have a lot of work to do, especially in areas that never had AC before we have the opportunity to replace heating and add cooling. Just a lot of $$$. And all the storms are just going to get worse. Build your earth ship well above the flood zone!
