Too hot to handle - but we must get a grip

Cooling down our climate is no easy feat, but it's a necessary one for the billions of people who face ever more frequent and furious heatwaves due to climate change. <br /><br />It's estimated that by 2050, the energy demand from air conditioners will triple, and an air conditioning unit will be sold every single second. <br /> <br />But a higher demand for AC equals a higher production of greenhouse gases - causing even more heatwaves. So how do we break the vicious cycle and find a happy medium? <br /> <br />On this episode of Sky News ClimateCast, hosts Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi come armed with their fans, summer clothes and sweat bands as they explore how we can adapt to a warming climate. <br /> <br />They speak to science correspondent Thomas Moore about the dangers of extreme heat as well as a Canadian resident from the town of Lytonn, whose entire village was destroyed by wildfire. <br /><br />Plus Dr. Radikha Khosla –a researcher working on cooling solutions, answers the question on all of our minds: how can we cool down, as the planet heats up?<br /><br />Hosts: Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi<br />Guests: Edith Loring-Kuhanga, Dr. Radikha Khosla, Thomas Moore <br />Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse<br />Interviews producer: Tatiana Alderson
