And why air conditioning load and costs are increasing and going to increase substantially (on top of what's being caused by data centers)

I'm not concerned about just today.

And I doubt that these stats mean nothing to most of the humans in danger now. Or to the people who may not be in danger right now, but care about those who are. Just like the reasons behind climate change are not meaningless to most people, it's only the blatantly anti-science MAGAT types and a few others, sigh, who don't care about the science behind it.

Anyway, my post above was not directed at those in danger now. It's very unlikely they are reading DU if their survival is in doubt.
