Some news report claims air conditioners are making heatwaves worse (are they? seems plausible), commenter suggests that AI data centers are a much worse contributor. Which is it? As a bonus, if someone has both maths, whats the raw heat output vs the environmental impact of both? As a double bonus, if it is the air conditioners, how many more data centers would it take to create enough heat to overtake.   submitted by   /u/Sharden3   to   r/theydidthemath [link]   [comments]
