As global temperatures rise, our cities are heating up, and thatтАЩs actually adding to the problem. As the FTтАЩs Leslie Hook reports, by 2050, two-thirds of the worldтАЩs households will have an air conditioner, requiring additional electricity capacity equivalent to the current capacity of the US, EU and Japan combined. Generating that extra electricity will add to future carbon dioxide emissions, but can innovation help us keep cool sustainably?
