Keeping cool in a warming world.

As our world grows warmer, the need to provide ourselves with cool comfortable living and working spaces becomes an ever bigger challenge. Existing cooling systems cause the atmosphere to warm even faster through CO2 emissions and refrigerant chemicals that are thousands of times more powerful as greenhouse gases. So what can we do to square the circle?
