Air-conditioners are worsening climate change
By Elisabeth Rosenthal and Andrew W Lehren, June 23, 2012, The New York Times:
AC sales are growing 20 per cent a year in China and India as middle classes grow in the ramshackle apartment blocks and sooty cement homes that line the dusty roads of urban India, there is a new status symbol on proud display. An air-conditioner has become a sign of entering the middle class in many developing nations, a must-have item for a bride’s dowry. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/258962/air-conditioners-worsening-climate-change.html

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule.
We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life.
Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India.
