Climate change represents an existential, global threat to humanity, yet its delocalized nature complicates climate action. Here, the authors propose retrofitting air conditioning units as integrated, scalable, and renewable-powered devices capable of decentralized CO conversion and energy democratization.
气候变化是对人类的全球性生存威胁,但其非本地化的特性使气候行动变得复杂。在此,作者们提议对空调设备进行改造,使其成为能够进行分散式一氧化碳转化和能源民主化的集成、可扩展且由可再生能源驱动的设备。
